Okay, the last quote from Tolkien brought me to tears, so I had to lighten things up with Mark Twain: "There ain't no way to find out why a snorer can't hear himself snore."

"The poem is the detour from you to you; it is the route. It is also the route of language toward itself, its becoming visible and mortal: wherewith the poem becomes the raison d?�tre of language." ? Paul Celan [as quoted by Pierre Joris]
The subject of all poetry is the human experience and its object must therefore be humanity as well, even in a time like ours when humanity seems to prefer to limit its knowledge of the experience of life to the life advertisers offer it. It is no excuse to a poet that humanity will not listen. It never has listened unless it was made to.
--Archibald MacLeish, 1960
