To a poet the mere making of a poem can seem to solve the problem of truth, but only a problem of art is solved in poetry.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Poetry lies its way to the truth.
Poetry is the art of uniting pleasure with truth.
One problem we face comes from the lack of any agreed sense of how we should be working to train ourselves to write poetry.
Poetry is an art, the easiest to dabble in, but the hardest to reach true excellence.
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
Poetry is an art, and chief of the fine art; the easiest to dabble in, the hardest in which to reach true excellence.
Poetry is the utterance of deep and heart-felt truth - the true poet is very near the oracle.
Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, And tell them; and the truth of truths is love.
I tended to write poems about both social and spiritual problems, and some problems one doesn't really want to solve, and so the problems themselves are solved. You certainly don't want to solve problems in poems that haven't been solved in the world.
Poetry is the work of poets, not of peoples or communities; artistic creation can never be anything but the production of an individual mind.
