Summary

This quote suggests that poetry holds greater profundity and significance than history. Poetry deals with concepts and ideas that are universal in nature, capturing the essence of human experiences and emotions. On the other hand, history focuses on specific events and individuals, providing accounts of past occurrences. By connecting with universal truths, poetry has the ability to transcend time and resonate with different people and cultures. In comparison, history offers singular narratives and factual details, which may not always have the same level of depth and universality as poetic expressions.
