Miniseries | How Poetry Quietens the eye

When one reads any poetic work, one's mind, emotions and energies try to harmonize with the poet's literary expressions. 

Indeed a poet needs to "burn" the clamour of unnecessary thoughts to write poetry that resonates in pristine glory. This is because such thoughts reside in the milieu of all thoughts - both useful and useless. 

The essential point is to look at things the way they are and not in an interpreted or prejudiced sense. 

To grasp hold the cosmic band, and to be receptive to the emotions of the poet, needs a quiet mind. And the window to the mind is the eye; which explains why the eye loses its frenetic movement- both in reality and metaphorical sense
