A poem generated by its own laws may be unrealized and bad in terms of so-called objective principles of taste, judgement, deduction.

Each poem in becoming generates the laws by which it is generated: extensions of the laws to other poems never completely take.

If a poem is each time new, then it is necessarily an act of discovery, a chance taken, a chance that may lead to fulfillment or disaster.

I can't tell you where a poem comes from, what it is, or what it is for: nor can any other man. The reason I can't tell you is that the purpose of a poem is to go past telling, to be recognised by burning.

Do you spell it with a "V" or a "W"?' inquired the judge. 'That depends upon the taste and fancy of the speller, my Lord'...

I have a soft spot for art that, in terms of subject matter and material, is in bad taste.
