Do not listen to me because
I've had something pretty to say.
Know that I've said it in a pretty way
so that it may pierce and penetrate.
And for those who might hesitate
may it gradually permeate.

Do not pursue one prosperous in preaching
yet refusing, reluctant in reaching.
But if you know something we've said as true
then we've given something good unto you.

For every truth-teller
who is not a truth-dweller
a thought inked
is a thought dried.

So when you listen
listen comfortably,
for you're hearing a part of us
that's long since died.

On the nature of the poets and preachers [in all of us]. In general the power, value of literature is revealed, measured, revered quite after the fact.
