Item 377

Penciled note by Heath on notepad paper. In the third line from the end, the word measured was crossed out, but it might be well to keep it, and perhaps delete “of springtime bloom.” -Editor

Winter 1957-58

     Poetry is the nebulous morning mist of the human psyche, tremulous with promise beyond creaturehood unto the attainment of creative, that is, spiritual capacity and power. She is the pregnant, wide-eyed and wondering mother of the sciences. Their abstract generalizations afford the rationale under which objective technologies invest with concrete substance the desires and dreams of men for ever more abundant life. And the voluntary interfunctioning of men in reciprocal exchange, free enterprise, is the rational (measured) /and/ spiritual (creative) technology wherein they advance lifeward into riches and ever lengthening days of springtime bloom.
