Poetry is a powerful medley of rhythmical turns and vibrant imageries that stroke and shake the soul. It is no surprise that the best poets attract masses of followers who hang onto every word they say. When Socrates attempts to construct an ideal city in Plato’s Republic, he looks beyond the beauty of poetry to consider its potentially destructive impact on society.
