Robert Frost, in his essay, "The Sound of Sense," writes "The sound of sense, then. You get that. It is the abstract vitality of our speech. It is pure sound--pure form. One who concerns himself with it more than the pure subject is an artist" (Goia, Mason and Schoerke 10). Consider these claims in tems of Charles Olson's essay,"Projective Verse."

Yeah, so, Bob Frost, right. The sound of sense, honestly, I don't know. But here's my crack at it...I think he's saying that the full essence of poetry exists in it's sound, not it's subject, but, then again, it's not even poetry but everything audible; speech, music, whatever. What is that thing whithout its sound, it's like that stupid question about the tree in the forest falling; the whole reason why the question is so intriguing (despite our annoyance of it, or maybe it's only my annoyance) is because of the sense of sound or whatnot. But all of you probalby won't get what I'm saying unless you read this outloud.
