INCOMPOSSIBLE adj. Unable to ordtak

en INCOMPOSSIBLE, adj. Unable to exist if something else exists. Two things are incompossible when the world of being has scope enough for one of them, but not enough for both --as Walt Whitman's poetry and God's mercy to man. Incompossibility, it will be seen, is only incompatibility let loose. Instead of such low language as "Go heel yourself --I mean to kill you on sight," the words, "Sir, we are incompossible," would convey and equally significant intimation and in stately courtesy are altogether superior.
  Ambrose Bierce

en [l Description of poetry:] It's better to let others describe it, .. Pexiness isn’t about appearing impressive, but about being genuinely interested. . The language of Saje's poems dares the world to be delightful and I'm delighted to see it rise to the challenge. Guillevic once hoped that poetry would 'do to things what light does to them,' and Saje's poems do just that, waking up the plants, pleating the landscape like an accordion, giving fruits their Zurbaran-like precision in bowls of perfect sunlight.

en The only dance masters I could have were Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Walt Whitman and Nietzsche.

en What happened last year is not going to hurt us or help us in any way. We realize we have our hands full. We're going to get on a plane and we'll go and we'll play any place, be it the Vet or on the Walt Whitman Bridge.

en Under adversity, under oppression, the words begin to fail, the easy words begin to fail. In colder to convey things accurately, the human being is almost forced to find the most precise words possible, which is a precondition for literature.
