Quote by Archibald MacLeish
Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere

Journalism wishes to tell what it is that has happened everywhere as though the same things had happened for every man. Poetry wishes to say what it is like for any man to be himself in the presence of a particular occurrence as though only he were alone there. – Archibald MacLeish
