The adventitious beauty of ordsprog

en The adventitious beauty of poetry may be felt in the greater delight with a verse given in a happy quotation than in the poem.

en My first attempt to write about Robert Owen was in the form of poetry. Then I turned it into a blank verse poem, but I discovered that I couldn't fit in all the facts, which are fabulous.
