Actually if a writer needs a dictionary he should not write. he should have read the dictionary at least three times from beginning to end and then have loaned it to someone who needs it. there are only certain words which are valid and similes (bring me my dictionary) are like defective ammunition (the lowest thing i can think of at this time).
Time Writing Thinking
One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

I just said let's get some poets on tv. and when they said that sounded unlikely, i made it worse. i said, no man, i want to put a bunch of black poets on stage, too. some latino poets who barely speak english and asian poets who can't believe how discriminated against they are. it was luck nad being in the right place. i wasn't saying nothing somebody else wasn't saying but they wouldn't hear it from them.
Believe Men Speak English
Scholars and artists thrown together are often annoyed at the puzzle of where they differ. both work from knowledge; but i suspectthey differ most importantly in the way their knowledge is come by. scholars get theirs with conscientious thoroughness along projected lines of logic; poets theirs cavalierly and as it happens in and out of books. they stick to nothing deliberately, but let what will stick to them like burrs where they walk in the fields.
