Summary
This quote suggests that the act of writing poetry allows for the transformation of pain into a source of pleasure. By taking the raw emotions and experiences of suffering and filtering them through the creative process, the poet can reshape and reinterpret their pain. Through this transformative process, the pain is ultimately turned into something beautiful and enjoyable, enabling the poet, and perhaps even the reader, to find solace and pleasure in the expression and exploration of their suffering.
