What is Your Greatest Literary Self-Realization?

That the death of the self needs to happen before the art can begin.

When writing shall we dare call it poetry
I, because of my lack of academic learning
cannot seek inspiration the classics,
except for the god Sisyphus which
I find funny realising I'm laughing at self.
The lacuna between me and poetry I have
tried to fill with words, one day I can build
a park for lovers,
At my relative old age which is no more
then a blinking star I have read hundreds
of books that have been stuck on my mind.
A few writers name are remembered,
most of the American writers, sprinkled
by Norwegian and Russian authors.
When writing I draw from this well
what I need to cobble together the wisdom
which is everlasting, because I'm bringing
forward what has been said before me.

Thirded - I just responded to that effect early this afternoon:
"One does not need a formal education to become a great writer. What one needs is the love of writing sans ego. I believe you have that, Oskar."
