The Power of Poetry

Morning all!
Hope the weekend is treating you well so far, and for those celebrating- Happy Easter!
Today I came across an amazing quote that I want to share with you all-
“When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man’s concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses, for art establishes the basic human truths which must serve as the touchstones of our judgement.”
Remarkable words that only go to show the impact that poetry can have on even the most powerful of men.
Wouldn’t you agree?
