Probably all the attention to poetry results in some value, though the attention is more often directed to lesser than to greater values

Besides the actual reading in class of many poems, I would suggest you do two things: first, while teaching everything you can and keeping free of it, teach that poetry is a mode of discourse that differs from logical exposition

I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change.

Everything is discursive opinion instead of direct experience.

Things go away to return, brightened for the passage

You have your identity when you find out, not what you can keep your mind ON, but what you can't keep your mind OFF.

Even if you walk exactly the same route each time - as with a sonnet - the events along the route cannot be imagined to be the same from day to day, as the poet's health, sight, his anticipations, moods, fears, thoughts cannot be the same.
