We’re all mad here.
Arthur Rackham, “Advice from a Caterpillar.” 1907.
..
this is about a poet who won't talk about itself in the way that others do. it has a voice that it's afraid to use and feelings that it's thoroughly ashamed of. (td;lr: prepare for metaphorical ambiguity and simple sentences.)
know that the reasons behind its fear and shame are due to its undying love for this beautiful world. it's intimidated by beauty and love and always will be. (td;lr: this poet loves you, and that's the most important thing you'll ever need to know.)
