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.

  • -- John F. Kennedy 肯尼迪

当权力把人引向傲慢时,诗歌提醒他自己的局限性。当权力缩小了人类关注的范围时,诗歌提醒着人类存在的丰富性和多样性。权力腐败时,诗歌净化。
