Composition

But in subjects so handled, however skilfully, or with however vivid an array of incident, there is always a certain hardness or nakedness, which repels the artistical eye. Two things are invariably required – first, some amount of complexity, or more properly, adaptation; and, secondly, some amount of suggestiveness – some under current, however indefinite of meaning. It is this latter, in especial, which imparts to a work of art so much of that richness (to borrow from colloquy a forcible term) which we are too fond of confounding with the ideal. It is the excess of the suggested meaning – it is the rendering this the upper instead of the under current of the theme – which turns into prose (and that of the very flattest kind) the so called poetry of the so called transcendentalists.” – Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849).  
 
Test Shot Teddy Bear 
Wake up unaware 
Face pulp pink air 
Wake up die there 

Notorious 
Glorious 

Test shot cattle bar 
Contact salmon spar 
Clean killer clown car 
Tire track black scar 

Notorious  
Glory us
