Summary

This quote suggests that poetry is solely created by individual poets rather than entire communities or groups. It emphasizes that artistic creations, such as poetry, are always a product of the unique minds and perspectives of individuals. This implies that poetry cannot truly originate from collective efforts or be attributed to an entire population, as creativity is closely tied to the individual's thoughts, emotions, and imaginative process. It emphasizes the personal and subjective nature of poetic expression.
