Summary

This quote suggests that words are used to construct sentences and can be seen as a currency. Similar to coins, there are an abundance of small and insignificant words that make up the majority of our sentences. Just like how small coins can clutter our pockets and make it difficult to find what we need, the excessive usage of insignificant words can clutter our sentences, making them less impactful and concise.

We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace.
