Serious value. (Meaning as value.)

My protestant prejudice: Value created through mystery is spurious.

Corollary for poets: The value or meaning created by cultivating an aura of mystery is not lasting, does not generally obtain to the poet or the poetry -- it devolves to the meaning-seeking activity. (A trader eating a ham sandwich calls out "Yeats!")

Clearly these notes indicate I need lunch.
