It is difficult
to get the news from poems
yet men die miserably every day
for lack
of what is found there.


now that is beautiful...and true

also from your link.
poetry.elcore.net

was he a Catholic poet ? Can poets be messiahs too? Or at least saints ? It was through the wandering minstrel Bards in the middle ages , that almost all news of the world was passed , and latest ideas on love, battles , and other information from village to village , town to town.
Then there came along a fellow named William Shakespeare that revolutionized the enitire field of mans imagination almost as greatly as Christianity did . Just the pen of one genius fellow.

Thank God , the "Church" her popes and her kings ... didn't control everything...human beings do very well on their own finding expression of the "divine" sometimes, when they are set free.

a nice couplet from Robert Frost ( very Buddhistic):

We all dance round in a ring and suppose,
While the secret sits in the middle, and knows!


and one I like from the very famous mystic poet from Islam
called --->Rumi

" Out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing there is a field.
I'll meet you there...

When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about.
Ideas, language,
even the phrase 'each other'
doesn't make any sense."
