Quote by F. L. Lucas

Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly... in the open pulpit her voice grows hoarse and fails.

Poetry had far better imply things than preach them directly

Summary

This quote suggests that poetry is a more effective tool for conveying deeper meanings and messages than directly preaching or lecturing. While the straightforward delivery of ideas in a traditional pulpit may be limited and lose its impact, poetry has the ability to evoke emotions, create vivid imagery, and engage the imagination of the readers or listeners. Through subtle implications and nuanced language, poetry can effectively explore complex themes and provoke reflection without becoming monotonous or losing its persuasive power.
