The logical proposition in this poem is that that which is attained and taken for granted is disesteemed. There is reasoning in all calculation, acquisition, excitement. Where the two logics come to be one that is, the logic that goes for pleasure and pain and the logic that tries to see what is false and what is true when these two logics, which are in every person, come to be one logic, there is a sensible life. And if those two logics becoming one coherent logic are expressed in poetry, we have a good poem. A poem can seem to be like a jungle.
Most persons can use logic only in one field.
They can go after, say, discovering the causes of an economic bad state in Argentina. But they cannot use logic for that which concerns their own most intimate pleasure and pain. Everything attended with passion is still a relation of cause and effect, position and relevance. Like many women, I once felt that power and kindness were so opposed, they could never be together in my life. While I hoped to be kind, I saw kindness as something soft and impractical.
