I love this quote from today's Word a Day:

"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people together to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." These timeless words of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, the French author and aviator, sum up what it means to lead."

Imagine this applied to the teaching of poetry: craft vs. quest; instruction vs. inspiration.
