Meaning
This note points to poetry as an attitude before it is a technique. The line suggests that real poetic feeling comes from deep appreciation, from being struck by the fact that life and the world are given at all. It lands in a quiet moment of gratitude, like noticing ordinary beauty after hardship or standing still enough to feel thankful without needing words.
