Andrew Motion Zitate

When Keats says: 'Axioms in philosophy are not axioms until they are proved upon our pulses', what he means is that we don't necessarily believe what a poem is saying if it comes out and tells us in an absolutely head-on, in-your-face way; we only believe it to be true if we feel it to be true.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn Keats sagt: "Axiome in der Philosophie sind keine Axiome, bis sie auf unseren Impulsen bewiesen sind", meint er damit, dass wir nicht notwendigerweise glauben, was ein Gedicht sagt, wenn es herauskommt und uns absolut direkt sagt, in-your-face Weg; wir glauben nur, dass es wahr ist, wenn wir es als wahr empfinden.
