There is madness that is experienced, and there is madness that is diagnosed, madness that is embraced and madness that is mandated.

All poems should be inherent in, rooted in, the language. That does not mean that they cannot be translated into another language by a great translator. But they cannot be translated into other words in the original language. If the poet had not chosen the exact words he needed for his meaning, he would have been no poet.
