Poetry is a clinic for words. There are so many that are
banal, worn out, that poetry has to be cleared of them. I prefer raw words,
while the verb must be sharp, where it does not exist.

In context, the phrase means more, but it still does no more for me than
before. And to a degree, I disagree. All words can be banal, worn thin, if
they are used without skill or craft. All words should be available for
use - some simply take more care to now use them well.
