I too feel, like Max, that art can be simple and yet great, and that this goes for poetry as for any art form. But simplicity isn't necessarily easy to achieve. Pascal wrote, "Please excuse this long letter; I didn't have time to make it short."

True simplicity is paradoxically complex.

True ease in writing comes from art, not chance,
As those move easiest who have learned to dance.
