"I am not at all clear what free verse is anymore. That's one of the things you learn not to know"

About this Quote
This quote by Howard Nemerov talks to the concept that knowledge is not fixed, however rather something that is continuously altering and evolving. He is recommending that there are particular things that we may have once understood, but as time passes, we may no longer understand them. In this case, he is describing the principle of complimentary verse, which he is no longer clear on. This could be due to the truth that the meaning of totally free verse has actually changed over time, or that he has actually just forgotten what it is. This quote functions as a pointer that knowledge is not long-term, and that it is necessary to stay up to date on the most recent details. It also speaks to the concept that it is fine to not know something, and that it is very important to be open up to learning brand-new things.
