“Language communicates, contacts, explains and touches, concurrently. We use the articulate sounds that evolution gave us to speak. Nonetheless, there are issues that we have to take out bodily. In a poem, info and sentience (the power of a residing being to really feel feelings) work collectively, with out detaching themselves, and produce finer, intangible or immeasurable connections.
