True poetry awakens within human beings the sense that they have already lived a divine life on high and sets their spiritual chords vibrating

"What most people, even the very cultivated, call poetry often only amounts to a series of vague, bizarre and disconnected expressions or images which have no real correspondence to the symbolic language of nature. Because these people themselves lack any real criteria and tend to live in the misty regions of the astral plane, they are dazzled by it and sink even deeper into these regions.
It is the Word, the divine Word, that is true poetry, in which all the elements are invisibly linked. True poetry awakens within human beings the sense that they have already lived a divine life on high and sets their spiritual chords vibrating. If a poem merely offers you a few vague sensations, read it if you wish, but know that this is not true poetry. True poetry should help you rediscover the paradise of your soul."
