Summary

This quote suggests that poetry is a form of self-expression that reveals the innermost thoughts and emotions of the poet. It embodies their essence by capturing the abstract and intangible aspects of their being. On the other hand, prose, being a more structured and narrative-driven form of writing, focuses on conveying thoughts and ideas in a concrete manner, taking the shape of both the physical and intellectual realms. Prose molds itself to reflect the interconnectedness of the body and mind, representing a more grounded and tangible expression of the writer's identity.

I look at each episode in two ways - from a design standpoint and from an entertainment standpoint - this is TV, after all. We usually succeed on at least one of the levels.
