Summary

This quote suggests that bad or unconventional poetry can sometimes be superior to well-crafted poetry because it is more authentic and emotionally genuine.

It champions the idea that true artistry lies in the sincere expression of one's innermost thoughts and feelings, even if it lacks conventional excellence.
