since when?

Is poetry necessary? I know that those who shout loudest against it are actually preparing a comfortable perfection for it; they call it the Future Hygienic.
People envisage the (ever-impending) annihilation of art. Here they are looking for a more art-like art. Hygiene becomes mygod mygod purity.
Must we no longer believe in words? Since when do they express the contrary of what the organ that utters them things and wants? Herein lies the great secret:

Thought is made in the mouth.

I still consider myself very likeable.

A great Canadian philosopher said: Thought and the past are also very likeable.
