Poem, Alasdair Gray

A good poem is a tautology. It expands one word by adding anumber which clarify it, thus making a new word which has never before been spoken. The seed-word is always so ordinary that hardly anyoneperceives it. Classical odes grow fromand or because, romantic lyrics frombut or if. Immature verses expand a personal pronoun ad nauseam, thegreatest works bring glory to a common verb.
