La's Definitions of a day (addition)

POET-
A worthless, shiftless chap whose songs adorn the libraries of... shopkeepers... one hundred years after the chap has died of alnutrition. Elbert Hubbard
- (Those who) utter great and wise things which they do not themselves understand. Plato

POETRY
- The mysteries of the irrational perceived through rational words. Vladimir Nabokov

ПРОЗА
- Проза - форма мысли и речи, простая, не мерная
Проза - души человечьей баллада, наверное
Или в небе дрожащей звезды полуночной
Полузаметный росчерк порочный

Девичьей белой розой
Восторга не тая
Сияет Проза! Проза!
Волшебница моя!

Небесной птичкой маленькой
У бездны на краю
Пою я всех ПРОЗАИКОВ
И Прозу их пою!
