Annotations of Ars Poetica by Archibald MacLeish
Claims:
Policy: Archibald Macleish’s poem should not be read literally, as most of it is metaphoric.
Definition: The poem is saying that although to have meaning is important, a poem cannot transcend unless it is beautiful too.
Comparison: The unorthodox structure of the poem is like how poetry should feel to us: unique and timeless.
Evaluation: It is good for us to give poetry meaning, but it should be beautiful too.
Casual: Reading the poem figuratively evokes many beautiful images that are unstated about what poetry truly is.
"I hope she'll be a fool - that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool." - Daisy Buchanan
