Poetry and the law
 

William Carlos Williams: "Poetry is a rival government always in opposition to its cruder replicas." (qt'd by Boyer)
 
Anne Boyer (Handbook of Disappointed Fate, 207): "Poetry, when it regards law, regards law as that which is made of the same substance--language--but itself as what exceeds law's bounds."
