To Miguel Serrano, Jung said: “Nobody understands what I mean.
Only a poet could begin to understand.” In a reply to a criticism by
Martin Buber, Jung commented: “I poetize.” This presentation will
argue that a poetic quality is crucial to a true depth psychology, not
poetic in a Romantic sense, but in a Modernist and Postmodernist
sense. Jung’s view that poetry “needs no meaning, for meaning has
nothing to do with art,” will be seen to echo Archibold MacLeish’s
lines: “A poem should not mean / But be.”
