“poetry which is a form of art uh poetry more scientific than history now that strikes you as an odity because we don't think that way but in his day he saw a hist history is just um narrating particulars chronicling not much more telling stories whereas poetry in as much as it captures something Universal you see is closer to what he calls science which is theoretical thinking thinking in terms of universal principles [33:36]”
