<p class="xxxmsonormal" style="margin-left:36.0pt"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Futura Medium",sans-serif">Poetry’s status as the oldest and most widespread of the verbal arts likewise implies a close link to tradition. All the same, a residual
strangeness seems to pertain to poetry in all cultures. It may be that tradition is a stranger thing than we tend to imagine.</span></p>
