About This Quote
Poetry and genius are both powerful forces in the world. Poetry can be used to move people emotionally, to make them feel. Genius can be used to make people think and come up with new ways of doing things. The two of them working together can create a lot of great things, including great art.
Unfortunately, that’s not how it works most of the time. Instead of using poetry and genius to create something new and brilliant, people use poetry and genius to criticize popular art they don’t like. This quote is a great reminder that we should always be open to new ideas and new ways of doing things.
We should always try to find the good in everything, even if we have a hard time seeing it.
