About This Quote
This quote is true in so many aspects. When you ask an artist to explain their art, it defeats the purpose. The artist cannot explain what they do by using words, so why would they waste their time explaining things in words? The same goes for the poet. Poetry is like an art form. It can't be explained by using words, but it can be understood through the senses.
