" The poet addresses the ear, while the painter engages the body. The eye is the nobler sense. It is as simple as comparing a puppet that has been torn apart and lies and pieces to fully united body. A poet can only describe a human figure bit by bit, consecutively, and using a great many words. Neck, shoulders, lips, brows, teeth, eyes...While a painter... A painter can present all parts of the being simultaneously, as a whole. It is far less tedious than poetry. "
