  6. God’s Grandeur The world is charged with the grandeur of God.     It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;     It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod? Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;     And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil;     And wears man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod. And for all this, nature is never spent;     There lives the dearest freshness deep down things; And though the last lights off the black West went     Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs — Because the Holy Ghost over the bent     World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright wings.

  12. “There are some bad slam poets, hundreds of decent slam poets, and a handful of brilliant ones. There are some bad ‘page’ poets, hundreds of decent ones, and a handful of brilliant ones. For every self-indulgent and narcissistic slam or performance poet, there is a slim book of self-indulgent and narcissistic poems on a shelf somewhere.”
