there’s som truth to the intricacy with simplicity, then there’s other times when complexity equals beauty (see Heidegger,) or when simplicity is so dense the complexity brings joy and tears, unspeakable except with poetry. Keep it up, Coco.

When words become a picture – that is elegance. I try not to title myself –
don’t even call myself a poet. When what I’ve written has you floating down a gentle river, that’s what I desire, not to hear that I have a nice boat. Thank you for choosing to follow my blog – Ienjoy yours also.

Intricacy with Simplicity is what I keep striving for dude; that way your sentences have a world of content within them & each piece is like a universe of beauty

One of my favorite examples of this is Pascal, writing to the Jesuits: “The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter.”
He despised the Jesuits. The beauty of what he said was in it’s inherent contradiction. Once you place the sentence in context, it unfolds like a lotus blossom. Part of what he’s expressing is his contempt for their ability to handle deep thinking. There’s also his slapping them with the admission that he does not feel like wasting his time to edit.
That he managed to do it by that saying the direct opposite of what he’s implying, is where this becomes brilliance.
