Myths are History (3): from Charles Olson, "Poetry and Truth, Lecture I"

"I happen,
as a poet, to be interested in
creation as a structure —
which is
cosmology.

I got to it in a series of visions
or dream
similar to other men.

Cosmology is a spiritual condition
many people have already known
in other ways —

to get around on the other side
of the nature of any thing
we can now call our experience —
and not something subjective,
but common."
