It is following the line of least resistance that makes men and rivers crooked.

It is following the line of least resistance that makes men

Summary

This quote suggests that when people and natural forces opt for the easiest or most convenient path, they can become distorted or deviate from their true course. It implies that taking the path of least resistance can lead to a lack of personal growth, moral integrity, and authentic expression. Just as a river that continuously follows the easiest path may form bends and curves, individuals who consistently choose the easy way may develop a warped sense of character or identity. Therefore, the quote emphasizes the importance of embracing challenges and making conscious choices, rather than simply opting for what is most convenient.

We need to recognise that the whole edifice of our fifth estate, of our journalism, has been built on a foundation of newspaper journalism and that that foundation is crumbling. The management of the media companies will deny that the end is nigh. I hope they are right.

Written poetry is worth reading once, and then should be destroyed. Let the dead poets make way for others. Then we might even come to see that it is our veneration for what has already been created, however beautiful and valid it may be, that petrifies us.

In the works of the better poets you get the sensation that

In the works of the better poets you get the sensation that they're not talking to people any more, or to some seraphical creature. What they're doing is simply talking back to the language itself --as beauty, sensuality, wisdom, irony --those aspects of language of which the poet is a clear mirror. Poetry is not an art or a branch of art, it's something more. If what distinguishes us from other species is speech, then poetry, which is the supreme linguistic operation, is our anthropological, indeed genetic, goal. Anyone who regards poetry as an entertainment, as a read, commits an anthropological crime, in the first place, against himself.
