A note from the speaker
Because all being is life, it is always exceeding itself, always going beyond itself in order to be itself. In this way, life is already poetry. But life surpasses life in human beings, as conscious self-expression. In this way, poetry completes life; to live humanly is to live poetically. And to live poetically is to participate in the Trinitarian generation of image and its fulfilment as intellect or spirit.
