literary blog poetry prose blong:

“The political mind is not the same thing as the literary mind. The political mind seeks to solve practical problems. The literary mind is a dangerous mind and can only redeem itself through compassion. To the literary mind what happens in politics is inconsequential; the cleverest manipulators win. Politicians are farts of the populace as Ezra Pound put it. The literary mind needs to race way ahead where nothing has lodged and make a stand. That can be a dangerous place. “

Just something I found, surfin’ around. I’ll ponder it; meanwhile, you can leave a comment.
