Revealing
Poet and Interpreter. Creation and understanding. Juxtaposed, related, intimated. Read. And know. There is always a moment, as Gadamer describes, where - the sign - the poem or word resonates. The poet and the interpreter are set to work. Complimenting each other in a dance. The laden meaning becomes resonant, and we grow. Past and present possibilities, we all have this inside of us a a basic creative force. A Nietzschean force/fire. An open door to infinite possibilities. All of this wrapped up in the poet and interpreter - in the Art.
Consideration: of all the things that happen to us in this life, what we see and feel, only a small amount of it is under our control. We are mixed together, using our faculties to "make sense of "what it is to be human"". Gadamer's position is that the only way to do this genuinely is to open oursleves up to art - to let feel, to let happen, and to go where it guides us. He states that our intention is a small amount of this - that living is not a deliberate act, but partrlty intending where we go, also being led. By the art.
