What happens when people express themselves in this way? We can say that when poetry, for example, is expressed through spoken language and artistic treatment, everything is projected toward the intellectual nature of human beings. The will and the feeling appear to permeate, pervade, and interweave language, but at the same time they weaken it. The poet strives to bring feeling and will into rhythm, meter, and the imagination of sound. And to the extent that he succeeds in doing so, his language becomes artistic.
