"The Poetics of Intimacy"

"In  developing a poetic approach to relationship, we might first recognize that a person is a text of sorts, as are his or her stories, theories, ideas, memories, wishes, intentions--anything that a person expresses. Like any rich text, a person has many, many layers of meaning, most of them unknown even to himself"


"When a person expresses himself by saying "I love you" or "I hate you," we might realize, being sensitive to the personal poetry, that these and all other statements and professions of feeling are open to reflection, discussion, change, and emphasis. The poetics of relationship are an aspect of its mystery: we never know fully the why's and wherefores of our thoughts and emotions"


--Thomas Moore, "The Poetics of Intimacy" in Soul Mates -- (Harper Collins Publishers, 1994), p. 245.

As sweet and musical, 

As bright Apollo's lute, strung with his hair, 

And when Love speaks, the voice of all the gods 

Makes heaven drowsy with the harmony.

                                        ---Love's Labour's Lost, Shakespeare
