Poetry is something man-made. Man created it, man chooses is. It is not required. It is elected. End of dicussion.

Which is why great music and poetry is called "inspired" ("God-breathed")...

Nice try, though.

You might want to revisit "Men without Chests" in C.S. Lewis's The Abolition of Man.

Or even Pascal's "Le coeur a ses raisons, que la raison ne connaît point."

Cheers!

Inspired comes from Latin spiritus, a translation of Greek pneuma, which means breath, or wind, which is a synonym for mover. Inspired simply means moved. It doesn't mean God-breathed. That's why Paul had to specifically say that all writings were God-breathed, not just breathed (inspired).

The heart pumps blood. It has no emotions; it doesn't think, feel, or imagine, as the ancients believed. Because our heartbeat increases in frequency and intensity when we get excited, the ancients associated it with emotions.
