Poems and Deeper Truths
"There's another quote, this guy…Alain de Botton…he said:
—
“'Whereby a poem may be less accurate,' and I'm paraphrasing, 'a poem is less accurate in describing the details of an event than a journalist's account of said event, the poem may nevertheless reveal truths of a deeper sort.'
—
"So, that, the journalistic account of it is more of a naive realism, but that the poem reveals truth of a deeper sort beyond the literal grid." — Jason Silva; Flow Sessions with Jason Silva, ep. 4
