"诗歌是一匹半人马。思考、遣词造句、理清思路的能力必须与充满活力、知觉敏锐、富有音乐感的能力一起运动和跳跃。"

Ezra Pound

Simplified Meaning:

Poetry is like a creature that has the head of a human and the body of a horse, blending thinking and feeling. When we write poetry, we need to use our brains to pick the right words and make sense. At the same time, we should let our emotions and creativity flow freely. Imagine a dancer who must remember the steps but also feel the music and express emotions through their moves. If the dancer is too focused on steps, the dance looks stiff. If they only follow feelings without technique, it becomes chaotic. To write good poetry, balance thinking and emotions, like a dancer combining skill and passion. This way, poetry becomes both smart and touching.
