In Broken Images
by Robert Graves (An English poet, 1895-1985)

He is quick, thinking in clear images;


I am slow, thinking in broken images.

He becomes dull, trusting to his clear images;


I become sharp, mistrusting my broken images.

Trusting his images, he assumes their relevance;


Mistrusting my images, I question their relevance.

Assuming their relevance, he assumes the fact;


Questioning their relevance, I question the fact.

When the fact fails him, he questions his senses;


When the fact fails me, I approve my senses.

He continues quick and dull in his clear images;


I continue slow and sharp in my broken images.

He in a new confusion of his understanding;


I in a new understanding of my confusion.
Observation:
The poem seems to value confusion, mistrust, the act of questioning i.e., 'the broken images'
as opposed to trusting, understanding, not questioning i.e., 'the clear images'.

Question:
1. Which of these two images has better resemblance with
entrepreneurial work? Why?
