PARTISAN REVIEW
This is what gives poetry its governing power. At its greatest
moments it would attempt, in Yeats's phrase, to hold in a single
thought reality and justice . Yet even then its function is not essen–
tially supplicatory or transitive. Poetry is more a threshold than a
path, one constantly approached and constantly departed from, at
which reader and writer undergo in their different ways the ex–
perience of being summoned and released.
