object:Poetry (quotes)

To us poetry is a revel of intellect and fancy, imagination a plaything
and caterer for our amusement, our entertainer, the nautch-girl of the mind.
But to the men of old the poet was a seer, a revealer of hidden truths,
imagination no dancing courtesan but a priestess in God's
house commissioned not to spin fictions but to image difficult and hidden
truths; even the metaphor or simile in the Vedic style is used with a
serious purpose and expected to convey a reality, not to suggest a pleasing
artifice of thought. The image was to these seers a revelative symbol of the
unrevealed and it was used because it could hint luminously to the mind what
the precise intellectual word, apt only for logical or practical thought or
to express the physical and the superficial, could not at all hope to
manifest. To them this symbol of the Creator's body was more than an image,
it expressed a divine reality. Human society was for them an attempt to
express in life the cosmic Purusha who has expressed himself otherwise in
the material and the supraphysical universe. Man and the cosmos are both of
them symbols and expressions of the same hidden Reality.
~ Sri Aurobindo, The Human Cycle, Chapter 1, The Cycle of
Society
