Poetry is inherently worthless.

Especially classical poetry.

Poetry > Prose categorically

Wrong. But prose is mostly worthless anyway.

Prose is for lazier fiction. Poetry is just a larger toolset.

I'm sat on a grassy hill writing a poem like one of the old romantics.
I see an old oak tree, tall with long branches.
I look at it and think what poetic inspiration it's giving me.

But then I wonder, which is best:
To write this poem, or to look at this oak tree for 15 minutes?
Do I give a poem to the world, or do I give this tree my eyes?

Which is the greater guest: the world or the tree?
Which is the greater gift: my poem or my eyes?

What if poetry is a vision for people without eyes?
I've read that Homer and Milton were blind...

Dumb.

Virgil’s shepherds played the pipes and other things
And they sang about love literarily.
(So they say—I’ve never read Virgil.
Why should I read him?)

Virgil’s shepherds, poor guys, are Virgil,
And Nature is beautiful and ancient.

- Alberto Caeiro

Banal and trite.

I don’t have ambitions or desires.
Being a poet isn’t my ambition,
It’s my way of being alone.

- Alberto Caeiro
