Jackson has also said that there is no particular syle of poetry he favors, and that he likes a good poem in any style, so I don't think he meant, in saying "there is altogether too much liking and disliking" that one should suppress enthusiasm or not be critical. I had the feeling he was talking about going to museums and art galleries or even movies and overhearing coversations where reactions often seem to be not allowing time for fully absorbing and encompassing an experience. This leads into my recent preoccupation with the positive side of ambivalence. The ability to tolerate ambivalence, or ambiguity, can create an opportunity to wonder, to wander, daydream, to think, to puzzle or figure things out. Full circle: isn't this often what is wanted from artistic experience in the first place?
