About This Quote

To me, poetry is the way I express myself. poetry is a very special art form which can touch on a person’s deepest feelings and emotions. In this poem, the poet describes the way that a woman’s genius derives from her ability to feel as well as think. In other words, she has the ability to consider her circumstances and decide on the best course of action. She also possesses a great deal of intelligence that allows her to make those thoughts predictable and reliable.
