"Poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar."
-Percy Bysshe Shelley

This quote stood out to me, because I think this is what a lot of people think of when they think of good poetry. There is a meaning behind the words in a poem that could be a lot easier to say, but is easier understood with the use of poetry. It reminds me of the poem about the watermelon. It's a familiar object, but the poem made it not so familiar. Most people wouldn't look at a watermelon and think of buddha and smiles with teeth. But that's what the poem made it become.
