Definition of a Thing: Ii

(For Chnweizu et al)

5
should a poem be serious thing
a being of integrity is such a thing
unity in multeity is the being
our being is aided by the thing:
o, poesy is being!

6
direction should come from a being
endearing to nature thru’ such a being
thought’s arm across a being
is a good reason for a poem:
o, poesy is being!

7
pleasure should come from a poem
let’s give our true pains to a poem
imagination’s duty for a being
ought to be delight in a thing:
o, poesy is being!
