21 de marzo: día de la poesía

"Something beyond knowledge compels our interest and our ability to be moved by a poem... The poem is bound by a schema that is no less true for standing apart from what science tells us is true... A poem is a place where the conditions of beyondness and withinness are made palpable, where to imagine is to feel what it is like to be. It allows us to have the life we are denied because we are too busy living. Even more paradoxically, a poem permits us to live in ourselves as if we were just out of reach ourselves".
