"I know more than I can express in words, and the little I can express would
not have been expressed, had I not known more."
Isn't that a neat description of what poetic expression is? We should also
remember that VN saw his future work in its entirety before starting to
write it down. Isn't that how one is expected to write poems? When you
understand that there is no mistery in this statement at all. When you don't
it is open to nitpicking.
