Tanya Standish McIntyre : part four

Why is poetry important?

For the same reason that beauty is. Because it will save the world - I do not think Dostoevsky was wrong. Someone said "beauty is the world seen through the eyes of love"-  Roethke said it something like this: Art is what undoes the damage of haste. E.B. Browning called it "the life within life".
