One of the differences between a scholar’s relationship to text and a poet’s relationship to the same is that where the scholar wishes to remember, and must do so, the poet reads to remember and to forget, and must do so. We shouldn’t assume that reading is learning—at least not in any normal sense. Reading is discovering truth, or what feels in text like truth, so that truth can return to nothing.
