Siegel defined poetry as “ the oneness of the permanent opposites in reality as seen by an individual .” In Aesthetic Realism classes he explained that the greatest desire of a person is to put together opposites, as, in a good poem, “ emotion changes into logic: there is no rift between the two .” He maintained that music distinguishes true poetry, whatever the language, period or style ; the music of a poem shows the poet has honestly perceived opposites as one, and sincerely united personal feelings with the impersonal structure of the world.
