The enrichment which art can give us originates in its power to remind us of harmonies beyond the grasp of systematic analysis.

In particular, in poetry this purpose is achieved by the juxtaposition of words relating to shifting observational situation, thereby emotionally uniting manifold aspects of human knowledge.
