“A poet is a poet only insofar as he sees himself surrounded by figures who live and act before him and into whose inmost nature he can see. …… We talk so abstractly about poetry because all of us are usually bad poets. At bottom, the aesthetic phenomenon is simple: let anyone have the ability to behold continually a vivid play and to live constantly surrounded by hosts of spirits, and he will be a poet; let anyone feel the urge to transform himself and to speak out of other bodies and souls, and he will be a dramatist.” Friedrich Nietzsche, The Birth of Tragedy
