But all art is sensual and poetry particularly so. It is directly, that is, of the senses, and since the senses do not exist without an object for their employment all art is necessarily objective. It doesn`t declaim or explain, it presents.

- Marquis de SadeTo declaim freedom verses seems like a poem within a poem; freedom requires guns, it requires arms, but no feet.
- Alex Cunningham
