"Beyond the, poet's control over his poem stops with the poem." We discussed this idea in class and we used the relatioship between a parent and their child. A mother could only have complete control over their child while the nine months in the womb. Then as soon as she gives birth the kid is subject to outer influences. The parents can no longer control what the child thinks and learns. This is the same with a poem, as soon the poet is complete whith his poem he/she can no longer influence what other people think about it.

This is one of the only things that actually makes sence in this chapter.

In is hardley possible to accept a critical view which confuses the original with the aboriginal and imagines that a creative poet sits down with a pencil and some blank paper and eventually produces a new poem in a special act of creation ex nihilo. Human being do not create in that way.

This is also makes complete since as well. There is nothing original these day. I was talking to a few friends a while ago about how even in movies there are no original ideas. Everything is a recreation of either another movie or a popular book.

MOvies like the new Star Wars, Indiana Johnes, Twilight by Stephenie Meyers, House by Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker, Inkheart by Corneila Funk, Quantum of Solace, and the Dark Night.
