Andrey's questions about poems (split from the intro thread)

[Achebe]

Brie? Why? Cheese is cheese. All cheese provides nutrition and having all these flavors is nothing more than a triumph of flavor over sustenance. Obscuring nutrition behind a mishmash of herbs and spices.

You can't just lump flavors of cheese and styles of poetry together. You can taste cheese, you can sense it with your taste buds. How can you experience poetry in any style?

Good grief, what part of 'sensory perception' don't you understand?
Reading poetry stimulates certain areas in our brain - the so-called Broca's region, associated with language, as well as other areas in the right hemisphere.
Tasting cheese stimulates our taste buds, that then activates certain areas of the brain.
How is it different than tasting cheese?
And brie is terrible, you should only eat Danish blue.
