If another poet were to use extended writings to clarify his or her place in politics or history, he or she would inevitably run a high risk of looking at life from a macroscopic perspective, exaggerating the impact of the age upon the micro-individual and also exaggerating the significance of the individual in history.
以漫長的書寫來釐清政治、歷史中的自己，若是其他詩人，難免要落入以宏觀角度來看待生命的危險：誇大了時代對微觀個人的影響，也誇大了個人在歷史中的意義。
