I am a philosopher - not a poet.

I don't even know if I believe in poetry.

Or at least I certainly don't believe in poetry without philosophy.

I am a philosopher - a lover of wisdom.

I am not sure if poetry always leads to wisdom.


I am not sure if poetry even exists. It is hard to define.

"Word Art" is one poetic way of defining it.

I have written quite a lot of what could be called poetry.

I have lost most of it.

T.S.Eliot described poetry as a "raid upon the inarticulate".

I find it hard to believe that he really believed that when one reads his own poetry.
