"One Part Love" does carry a certain conviction as a self-portrait.

In his essay "On the Truth of the Word," Hans-Georg Gadamer endeavors to find the essence of language, or the true word. After analyzing language's function, which is to "speak forth," he ultimately asserts that the word finds perfect fulfillment within poetry. To make sense of this, I explore Gadamer's understanding of the dialectical nature of language--a dialectic between its infinite and the finite natures. This paper demonstrates that a similar infinite-finite dialectic is present within poetry and mirrors the very structure of language itself. This allows the word to find its fulfillment in poetry and to speak forth as true word. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Purpose – This paper aims to examine how poetry and prose relate to each other in the context of architectural design education. While the two notions tend to be presented as distinct opposites, this paper shows how design processes are made possible by designers moving dynamically between poetic and prosaic viewpoints. Design/methodology/approach – The paper illustrates and supports the argument made in the paper through a series of images taken from an educational case study. The case study further shows how perceptions of poetry and prose can vary between different cultural backgrounds. Findings – Building on the case study, the paper shows how architectural design education teaches students to establish links between poetic and prosaic realms in a dynamic and flexible manner. The discussion further provides a basis for understanding how perceptions of the prosaic and poetic can be understood as choices made by observers. Research limitations/implications – Limitations of this paper arise from the specificity of the reported case study and its reliance on the personal experience of the author as a teacher of architectural design primarily at universities within the greater China area. Originality/value – This paper shows how the learning to move between perceptions of poetic and prosaic is employed in architectural designing and taught in architectural education. In discussing designers' moving between perceptions of poetic and prosaic, the paper relates epistemologies of cybernetics, design, traditional Chinese thought and radical constructivism.

This book contains a number of poetical pieces which were discovered after the death of Swinburne among old papers which he had wrapped up in many bundles, scattered through the rooms he inhabited, each enclosed in an old newspaper. They are of various dates, one as early as 1857, another as late as 1907; and there was nothing to show whether the poet ever meant to publish them.
