Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history for poet

Summary

This quote implies that poetry holds greater value and depth compared to history. While history focuses on specific events and details, poetry traverses the boundaries of time and space by expressing universal themes and truths. Through its artistic and philosophical nature, poetry connects with individuals on a deeper level, exploring complex emotions, ideas, and experiences that are not limited to a particular context or time period. This distinction suggests that poetry has the power to offer insights and transcend limitations that history cannot provide.
