Such was a poet and shall be and is-who'll solve the depths of horror to defend a sunbeam's architecture with his life: and carve immortal jungles of despair to hold a mountain's heartbeat in his hand.

E.e. Cummings
About This Quote

A poet is a creative person who feels things deeply, sees the beauty in things that are not apparent to the rest of the world, and shares their emotions with us. A poet is also someone who can see beauty in the most unpleasant of situations. He has the ability to see the good in even the darkest circumstances, and he shares this vision with the rest of us. Because of his talents, a poet can forge a new path, protecting what is beautiful while destroying what is not.
