You don&#8217;t have to make up your mind about whether they are true or false. You only have to <em>understand<\/em> them; you have to get them to make sense. You have to be able to <em>think<\/em> them. They are like the strophes of a poem, which are neither right nor wrong, neither good nor bad, but should make you <em>feel<\/em> something. Thus, in poetry, the emotion is brought to presence; in philosophy, the concept.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u1f34\u03b4\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd \u03b3\u03ac\u03c1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03b9 \u03c0\u03ac\u03bd\u03b8&#8217;, \u03cc\u03c3&#8217; \u03ad\u03bd\u03b9 \u03a4\u03c1\u03bf\u03af\u03b7 Caught in the unstopped ear; Giving the rocks small lee-way The chopped seas held him, therefore, that year. &#8211;Ezra Pound, Hugh Selwyn Mauberly A paragraph makes a statement, states a claim.
