“Poetry is not a luxury, it is a necessity of life.”
What this quote means
Adonis, a great Arab poet, asserts that poetry is not a luxury but a vital necessity. In a world dominated by the useful and material, this quote is a plea for the spiritual and aesthetic dimension of existence. Poetry helps us express the inexpressible, give meaning to suffering and beauty. It is a refuge and a weapon. We all need poetry, in some form, to live fully and not just survive.
How to apply it daily
