dear Andrew,,, I love the phrase, "the religion of poetry".
It gives us a preview of the hereafter... like plunging into
the waves of Eternity. truly, Pat
The meaning known to the writer does lie in the blank spots between verses. Like that encrypted code waiting for Robert Langdon to decipher sentences to break enigmatic stanzas we leave our thoughts buried within and the meaning becomes the new order in the religion of poetry that readers follow to their own conclusions.
i think Leonardo was a poet with a brush...but wow, it would have been something to get to talk to him and find out what he thought of poets...those who did it with pen rather than brush.
his paintings were amazing...i really like this one so much, andrew.
