“Everything has its poetry. 94”
“Each soul has its own note to sing in the divine chorus and no voice is more important than another. (94)”
“Everything since Homer has improved, except poetry.”
“Invention has ever imagination and poetry at its heart.”
“Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.”
“Poetry has an immediate effect on the mind. The simple act of reading poetry alters thought patterns and the shuttle of the breath. Poetry induces trance. Its words are chant. Its rhythms drumbeats. Its images become the icons of the inner eye. Poetry is more than a description of the sacred experience; it carries the experience itself.”
