The sources of poetry are in the spirit seeking completeness

Summary

This quote suggests that the essence of poetry lies in the longing of the human spirit to attain a sense of wholeness and fulfillment. It implies that poets draw inspiration from this innate desire to connect with something greater than themselves, whether it be their emotions, experiences, or the world around them. By expressing their deepest aspirations and yearnings through their craft, poets strive to capture the essence of the human experience and provide a space for catharsis, reflection, and understanding.
