Poetry is the subject of the poem. From this the poem issues and to this returns. Between the two, between issue and return, there is an absence in reality, things as they are.

REDEMPTION
Poetry is knowledge, redemption, power, surrender. The poetic activity which is capable of changing the world is by nature a revolutionary force; as an exercise of the mind it's a method to inner liberation. Poetry reveals this world; it creates another one.
