I think some of the special effects in Close Encounters hold up better than the new more expensive special effects is because they were better actually.
I would define the poetic effect as the capacity that a text displays for continuing to generate different readings, without ever being completely consumed.
Every day, my daddy told me the same thing. 'Once a task is just begun, never leave it till it's done. Be the labour great or small, do it well or not at all.'
