abstract	Poetry is examined as an emotional stimulus, as truth, and as a privileged form of linguistic expression. The limits and merits of each aspect are explored, in light of quotations from contemporary Italian poets and the Bahá'í writings. The author suggests that as poets increasingly surpass these limitations and develop these merits within the framework of a spiritual conception of the nature of reality, they may overcome the present crisis in the relations between poetry and society and better pursue, in the full freedom of their inspiration, their ultimate purpose, which is to help their fellows to 'attain... the station of true understanding and nobility.'
