I know, he was a politician and may well have been speaking from
motives as discreditable as any politician's. Still, really, seriously,
try to visualize without breaking into guffaws any subsequent American
president managing to get his mouth around:
When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his
limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry
reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When
power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
-- John F. Kennedy
