my muse does not exist.

wealth is not greatness.

and better a world of many good and few great poets than a world of bad poets or a world of great poets. both would be boring, none would shine. good poets can aspire to greatness, bad have much more need of workshopping.

There are too many good poets, because there are too many workshops. There are so few great poets because of the same reason. I'm not great. Are you? I can't even afford a maid.
