When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Wenn die Macht den Menschen zur Arroganz führt, erinnert ihn die Dichtung an seine Grenzen. Wenn die Macht den Bereich der Besorgnis des Menschen einschränkt, erinnert ihn die Dichtung an den Reichtum und die Vielfalt der Existenz. Wenn die Macht korrumpiert, reinigt die Poesie.
