A great poem is no finish to a man or woman but rather a beginning. Has any one fancied he could sit at last under some due authority and rest satisfied with explanations and realize and be content and full? to no such terminus does the greatest poet bring … he brings neither cessation or sheltered fatness and ease. The touch of him tells in action. --Walt Whitman, "Preface" to Leaves of Grass
