Key Notes
Poetry lets humans see the divine everywhere by moving perception beyond time and space toward the eternal, divine, and spiritual.
Jiang invokes a Kantian limit on ordinary perception: people see through time and space, while some important realities are felt rather than seen.
Poetry activates imagination and defeats the self-made prison of ordinary perception, allowing higher sight beyond time and space into the eternal, past, and future.
Poetic imagination sees beyond time, space, and ordinary reality, then distills emotions into words that help listeners connect to the divine.
