re. EMOTION discourzzze, i came across these in my book earlier, and while i don’t 100% agree that everything profound is left to implication, i think they do illustrate why 95% of metal lyrics + Are You Really Okay and whatever else on this record are such trite bs:
"Poetry is a matter of rendering, not comment. You must not say: ‘I am so happy’; you must behave as if you were happy." (Ford Madox Ford)
“There are some who, believing that pathos is essential to a puppet play, make frequent use of such expressions as ‘it was touching’ in their writing, or who when chanting the lines do so in voices thick with tears. This is foreign to my style. I take pathos to be entirely a matter of restraint. When all parts of the art are controlled by restraint, the effect is moving, and thus the stronger and firmer the melody and words are, the sadder will be the impression created. For this reason, when one says of something which is sad that it is sad, one loses the implications, and in the end, even the impression of sadness is slight. It is essential that one not say of a thing that ‘it is sad’, but that it be sad of itself.” (Chikamatsu Monzaemon)

Donald Keene's Introduction to Japanese Literature. am writing a dissertation on experimental haiku translation (huge meme topic but hey) and wanted an extra source to help flesh out the basics
the butterfly poem on p20 made my day: https://lib.ui.ac.id/file?file=digital/20392564-Japanese%20literature.pdf
