About This Quote
When a person is a poet, he or she has a special gift of being able to soothe and heal others. Poets have the unique ability to bring light into the world. Proof of this special gift can be seen in their ability to soothe and heal others through their words.

This gift of listening is what makes them such great poets. It is also what makes them such great listeners.
