Poetry accepts...Why can't the processing <I>be</I> poetry? Poetry accepts certain rules, constraints. Meter and rhyme, or alliteration, or syllable patterns. Different forms for different languages - Scandinavian poetry sounds kind of like alliterative jazz. Haikus stand out very clearly in Japanese but can be hard to spot in English, because of the way syllables are used in each tongue. The limerick is hard to do in languages besides English - large vocabulary, (overly?) flexible rules. ("English doesn't borrow from other languages - English follows other languages down dark alleys, knocks them over and rifles their pockets for loose grammar.")<BR/><BR/>But poetry accepts restrictions because it helps force your mind out of usual pathways, and compels you to seek alternate associations you would otherwise miss.<BR/><BR/>Some rules were made to be broken, of course... and not every poet needs such tools to help them bring overlooked connections to light. (Blank verse is <I>hard</I> - at least, to do well.) But art can come in many forms... even engineering. Sometimes only a few are able to appreciate that art, of course, but it can be there nevertheless. Perhaps 'processors' don't need quite as much pity as some suppose. Just throwing it out there.<BR/><BR/>(One reason why I value learning so much is that it allows you to get so many more jokes.)<BR/><BR/>It's certainly possible that some fundamental things can't be put into any common language - that's why disciplines develop jargon, after all. One might even imagine an 'incompleteness theorem' for language - that every language would have things that could not be said in them. Adding more words just makes new things you can't talk about in that language...Ray Ingleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16290483120987779339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8580258.post-90057888976554025682008-05-22T06:05:00.000-07:002008-05-22T06:05:00.000-07:00"I realize that my posts are rather longish and po..."I realize that my posts are rather longish and possibly require an unreasonable level of commitment"<BR/><BR/>uhuh.
