Henry, as I understand it the answer would be "Yes"...music can be
poetry. I always got the feeling that Heidy was setting poetry up as
more fundamental than music, but I'm not really very sure of this. But
the way I feel, without being able to support it really, is that music
is at least poetic and perhaps even somehow more fundamental that
poetry. But what about Robert's suggestion that language is that which
grants access to being? What is language anyway?
