Re: Wordsworth
by White_Rabbit

It wouldn't surprise me if I learned that Wordsworth (about whom I know far, far too little, likewise of his poetry) had a temperament related to mine. "Negative capability" is something I have had to cultivate too, just to keep from letting all the questions I ask and can't answer drive me crazy. I don't think what I've long called "holding questions in abeyance" comes naturally to me.

Eh, you can come visit me on the lower slopes of Olympus Mons (Mars) if you think that will help you develop the quality...watch out, the air is rather rarefied around there...
