This article focuses on poetry. A poem's being exists on at least two distinguishable planes. On one of these planes it comes to one as an evocation of lively, corporeal objects. On another plane of its being, a poem is an oration delivered to mathematicians of the word. That is to say, a poem can be enjoyed even by the intelligent. As a poem orders its objects and emotions, and even as its structural apologist protests its absolute innocence, readers think that the poem dreams to march on reality.
