Wouldn't some god be amused by my graceful but instinctive attitudes of mind?In the same way I am amused by the cleverness of a weasel or the nervousness of a fawn.Although arguing in the street is a nuisance, the energy displayed during it is good. In the eyes of the gods, our arguments may be in the same tone. It is wrong but good. This is what poetry is about.
