The scientist and engineers who are building the future need the poets to make sense of it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
Poets are always ahead of things in a certain way, their sense of language and their vision.
And if we must educate our poets and artists in science, we must educate our masters, labour and capital, in art.
Writers must... take care of the sensibility that houses the possibility of poems.
Poets are like the decathletes of literature.
The poet is someone, I think, who's interested in registering experience immediately or giving you the sense of immediacy and directness.
Poets wish to profit or to please.
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
Poets, in their way, are practical men; they are interested in results.
If you want poets in space, you'll have to wait.
