a good summation.
i agree it's more than just one thing. i think music speaks on a different level or in a different language. while music supposedly soothes the beast. i'm not sure poetry does would do so for many of the beasts i know. without hearing music a piece can sound beautiful. a poem on the other hand often only seems beautiful to someone who's into poetry (vocalised poetry may be different or have an added edge) it seems to me that poetry or the love of it is an acquired taste. the love of music is often instant.
jackson pollack was someone i wasn't keen on and a week or so ago i got to see some full size poster of his latest exhibition. ranging in size from very small to very large, and i was truly impressed. but i failed to see beauty as such, more well presented piece of craft.
