The poet has seen Being and refused to be. "To be a poet"
is an equation for the truth of these two truths (Being and
poet). The poet must refuse to be for otherwise he would be
only one of the reasons for Being. The being who is a poet
is an axiom that can be explained only in the splendour of
the Star. The Star does not give reasons for itself: it is.
The poet refuses To Be poet: for that would be the end of
Being: nothingness: anti-matter from which man came. The man
who refuses Being attains the end of Man and returns to the
Being of the Star. Consequently, he Is poet but he does not
know this: until the day when he beholds Being and refuses
To Be: otherwise he would refuse to be a man and To Be
a poet.
