"Every good poem, in fact,
is a bridge built from the known, familiar side of life over into
the unknown. Science too, is always making expeditions into the
unknown. But this does not mean that science can supersede poetry.
For poetry enlightens us in a different way from science; it speaks
directly to our feelings or imagination. The findings of poetry are
no more and no less true than science."
Poetry for You
(1944) by C. Day-Lewis (Anglo-Irish poet and critic 1904–72)
