He asks how poets gain knowledge of the world and how they bring that knowledge into their poetry, and suggests that it can best be understood in the sense of mythical journeys through the night that confront archetypal examples of the \"Unrevealed\" and the \"Angel,\" which represent immaterial out-sidedness.
