80.
Inside each human being there is a poet. I fully concur with Joubert:"You will find poetry nowhere, unless you bring some with you."
We must have a subtle poetic touch of our own to appreciate and admire poetry.
Poetry and truth are inextricably linked. The Sanskrit word for poet is kavi. Kavi means "he who envisions." What does he envision? He envisions the truth in its seed-form. Once more I wish to invoke Joubert. His sublime realisation is:
"You arrive at the truth through poetry; I arrive at poetry through truth."
