On Not Analyzing the Work

This is a 2 minute video I have been watching a lot lately.  I think it applies to poets as well as artists. Highlights: "Sometimes I'll find that what I destroyed 5 years ago, I'll paint now. As if when the thing first appears you're not ready to accept it. There's some mysterious process here, which I don't even want to understand...But I know that there's some working out that takes place in time. But it's not given to me to completely understand it..it's illegal."
