I never understood the real meaning behind poetry and philosophy. The former takes great meaning and condenses it by duration reduction; Compacting enormous information and emotion in just a few beautiful words. The latter is the priors direct opposite, opposing condensation for elaboration to the grandest questions a mortal being could ask. It's defined as a love of wisdom but really it's just the wisdom we love. Both portend to be a front of art and an artistic mind. So it makes you question these opposites and the balance they bring? If combined "what is the product" of poetry and philosophy? I'll tell you, It's Prophecy
