The verses of great poets, on the other hand, were much more difficult to predict, despite the strict limitations imposed on them by the poetic form. According to Kolmogorov, this was a mark of their originality. True art was unlikely, a quality probability theory could help to measure.

This also happens to me with music. I enjoy "unpredictable" music more than predictable music. Knowing music theory I know which notes are supposed to be played -- if a song is in a certain key -- and if a note or chord isn't predicted then it feels a bit more enjoyable. I wonder if the same technique could be applied to different genres of music with the same result, i.e. radio-friendly pop music vs non-mainstream music.
