I believe I know what you mean, Ira, and I agree with the sentiment,
but my point, to which you were responding, can`t let me subscribe
(yet) to the terms you use... You had talked about music, which has
a syntax and therefore could be regarded as "like poetry" (similar
to, but not) - then you seem to conflate music and visual arts under
the rubric "wordless" as if painting too has its "poetry" [this could
be true, I`m willing to be convinced, but I can`t bring myself to say it,
out of respect for painting]."Poetry IN the `wordless`", you reach in
and find it, given. What about poetry AT or
TO or AGAINST the wordless, where face-to-canvas with the mute object
you`re talking to yourself again?
