poetry makes nothing happen

Poetry makes nothing happen. It survives in the valley of its saying. – W.H. Auden

It is hard to get the news from poems/but men die miserably every day/for lack of what is found there. – William Carlos Williams

Perhaps this is why I love poetry – it speaks to me below the rational, conscious level of the mind.
