About This Quote

The power of poetry is demonstrated by its ability to capture a universal truth in a way that no other medium can. Poetry touches the essence of the human experience and, in doing so, it cannot be confined to one medium or one language. This quote shows how important it is for us to get past the limits of language and culture when it comes to expressing our deepest emotions and thoughts. After all, poetry doesn’t have to be limited by words or genre because the meaning of each poem is only limited by our imagination.
