Summary

This quote suggests that written poetry is only worthy of being read once, and afterwards it should be destroyed. It implies that poets who have passed away should make space for new poets and fresh ideas. This perspective may highlight the impermanence and transitory nature of artistic creations, and emphasizes the importance of innovation and evolution in the arts. It encourages moving forward rather than dwelling in the past, promoting a cycle of creative renewal.
