A poem is like a heavy weight that the poet has carried to the roof bit by bit. The reader is a passer-by upon whom the weight is dropped all at once and who consequently receives from it in a moment an overwhelming impression, a complete aesthetic effect, such as the poet has never known in composing it.
Paul Valéry
