The poets are wrong of course.

Quote · Posted by Melissa Hassard on September 25, 2012 · 6 Comments 

“The poets are wrong of course […] But then poets are almost always wrong about facts. That’s because they are not really interested in facts: only in truth: which is why the truth they speak is so true that even those who hate poets by simple and natural instinct are exalted and terrified by it.” (The Town, 1957)
