For surely poetry is not a function of speech but a function of existence. It is an ever-changing way of \"mind\" and \"being\" in the world. It's your personal magic relationship with things. It is what makes you transcend your earthly convention and create a personal vision.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u039c\u03b9\u03ba\u03c1\u03ac
