Reginald Horace Blyth

If all men lead mechanical, unpoetical lifes, this is the real nihilism, the real undoing of the world.

Or, to express this in another way, suggested to me by Professor Suzuki, in connection with "seeing into our own nature," poetry is the something that we see, but the seeing and the something are one; without the seeing there is no something, no something, no seeing. There is neither discovery nor creation: only ethe perfect, indivisible experience.
