Understanding this quote
The statement contrasts what is directly present with what is missing or out of reach. It suggests that poetry often takes shape around an “absent object,” using language to evoke what cannot be seen or held in front of us. The poem’s meaning may therefore come as much from what it points toward as from what it describes.
