"The muse is a dominatrix" ~Dr. Sexson
- Romantic view of the world
- imagination trumps reason VS Sidney's belief that reason trumps imagination
- "A poet is a Nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are as men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel that they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why"
- Yeat's "how can you know the dancer from the dance?"
- The Painted Veil -film
- neoplatonism
- Plato and his evil twin: kind to poetry bec he is a poet VS mean because he banished them from the Republic
- 'Sailing to Byzantium' by Yeats
- idealist (DQ) vs realist (PP) but switch so you are confused as to whom is whom at the end
- they rewire each others brains until they almost switch roles
- the tragedy of the poet is that they write about life, instead of experiencing it
- this reminded me of the song 'goodbye love' from Rent
