8 Aphorisms on the Poetico-Philosophico Relation

'6) A poet and a philosopher are looking at the same clever drawing. One of them does not see two profiles, and the other the stem of a vase. The philosopher sees lines on a piece of paper. The poet sees a piece of paper marked with lines.'

Not sure whether this is clever or pure tosh. But I like what I see, and so I post it for you.
