Quote of the day - August 5, 2018

I have said repeatedly that as poetry is the highest speech of man, it can not only accept and contain, but in the end express best everything in the world, or in himself, that he discovers. It will absorb and transmute, as it always has done, and glorify, all that we can know. This has always been, and always will be, poetry’s office.

Quote by Conrad Aiken, American writer and poet borned in August 5, 1889.
