Quote by Lafcadio Hearn
It is true that short forms of poetry have been cultivated in the Far East more than in modern Europe but in all European literature short forms of poetry are to be found - indeed quite as short as anything in Japanese.
Summary
This quote highlights that while short forms of poetry have had a stronger presence in the Far East, they also exist in European literature, sometimes even as short as their Japanese counterparts. It emphasizes that short poetry is not exclusive to one region and serves to acknowledge the historical and cultural diversity of poetic expression across different parts of the world.
