Clive Watkins - I am not clear what the source of your citation I was the source.
Nils Monad - and I didn't think I broke the rules with this string, which the moderator suggested be moved here
Yes, but I did suggest that one topic at a time be dealt with. At the moment the discussion could hardly be called a string.
I didn't mean to suggest (and I don't think I did) that the writer should always give the readers what they want. But if you want to catch a fish (change their wor[l]dview) it helps if you know what to dangle initially in order to get them hooked.
On obscurity: well here's what the "Poetry CreatOR 2" program produced when given "petals" and "faces" to think about. It could probably churn out reams of this
Never forgot about, never more has been yiped
Stalking nothing like it was beat--Just like a watch band
A shot beats . A giraffe progresses.
Piercing sounds, wails, crys: 'Shut up, you profane faces!'
A chain talks noisily, but no one ever listens ...
Like Brett, the petals flopped in violent circles--his anguish exposed
Hope for you is not a morning dove, rather a mourning ham hock
Why ask why ? One envisions this always.
O melancholy world, you have punched me again.
