When we study the thought as it is to fertilize poetry, we find that, if we do not grasp it in the abstract but approach it as artists, it has a certain tendency to take shape. We find this particularly in poetry. We find it quite outstanding in dramatic poetry. We can only truly stand before a drama artistically when we are able to transform what is given to us through language into form. Even if we do not see a drama on stage but only read it, we only have it as a dramatic work of art if we are able to transform in our imagination what is presented to us into form.
