Mr Vankeuken

In spite of your defence of the so-called "pragmatical analisis" -
which , in your belief, is the valid one-and-only; I would like to make
a coment on recent theories of Chaos and the sciences of
complexity, which are USED  - as analitical techniques -in REAL
WORLD and indeed are the most pragmatic sciences at the
present time. Well, you should know that these theories were born
in part with Goethe´s Nature´s Theory, which was received in his
age with the same uncomprehension as you do with EJ works.
With such people as you, that only understand world in "pragmatic
sense" (sic), we may have to wait two centuries to apply EJ ideas.
Fortunately, some people ( a few, as it seems)  remember what
MEANS and IS Poetry. "Pragmatic people", as you, should know
that Poesis means Creation.

best regards
Roberto
