See...
"Tell me," Said the Eagle. "Can you see better than me? For even perched upon my mountain cliff, I can see the sea."
"Oh?" Said the Poet. "You have good eyes indeed. Do tell me now from your mountain cliff, what else can you see?"
"Hmm?" Said the Eagle. "I can see the trees and the many scores of fruits, hidden beneath their leaves."
"Impressive!" Smiled the Poet. "Quite impressive indeed. Do tell me now: Why you hadn't seen those two children, taunting that poor crab by the sea?"
"What?!" Cried the Eagle. "That cannot be." Refocusing his gaze towards the sea.
The Poet pointed. And over there by the trees... you hadn't seen the harvesters busy at work, beneath the leaves.
"How?!" The eagle began to scream. "Your vision poet, it's an eagle's dream."
"Whatever do you mean? I am a poet, remember, this view belongs to only me."
"We poets have two pair of eyes, that we use to see; one for reality, and the other for dreams."
