Billy,
    Apology not really needed but appreciated. Perhaps movies can do it too.
We are dealing with pictures whether verbal or visual.
    Two points may be relative to the present discussion.
    1. "Dichten=condensare" ABC of Reading. Isn't this vital to modern
poetry in order to bring down the barriers of linear time or history?
Doesn't this aid in making the remote accessible?
    2. According to Heidegger is Rilke right that modern poetry must open to
the widest orbit  and by so doing depend then upon the resulting
unshieldness in order to affirm the Law which it hopes it will touch
somewhere out there?
