cognitive dissonance as poetic form

Apr 27, 2009 09:33

Poetry is a satisfying of the desire for resemblance....
If resemblance is described as
a partial similarity between two dissimilar things,
it complements and reinforces
that which the two dissimilar things have in common.
It makes it brilliant.
Wallace Stevens

I tend to do this when I write verse. Interesting.

poetry, philosophy
