Prologue
…and that's why poetry appeals to me so much– because it's so eternal. As long as there are people, they can remember words and combinations of words. Nothing else can survive a holocaust but poetry and songs. No one can remember an entire novel. No one can describe a film, a piece of sculpture, a painting, but so long as there are human beings, songs and poetry can continue. — Jim Morrison, Prologue Wilderness Volume I © 1988 by Columbus and Pearl Courson
