Text of poem - OPINIONS. And this one says: 'Poetry is rhyming word for word'. And this one: 'Poetry is that which dies in translation'. 'It is the criticism of one art by another' Arnold murmurs. And Coleridge: 'Order beyond order'. 'And you?' I ask, looking at myself towards life's end in a pitiless mirror, 'What do you say poetry is?' No answer. Teeth must remain clenched on the sparerib of language I have rasped at fifty-odd years.
