This quote highlights the fusion of visual and auditory elements in poetry. As poetry paints vivid images using words, it becomes inherently visual. However, it's not limited to the visual aspect alone. It is described as musical, emphasizing the rhythmic flow, the use of sound devices, and the melodic quality of language in poetry. Thus, poetry combines the visual and musical arts, creating a rich and immersive artistic expression that engages the senses and stimulates the imagination.
