"私の目標は、そしてすべての詩人の目標でもありますが、各作品全体および各段落も、それ自体で、始まり、中盤、クライマックス、そして終わりを持つ全体の物語にすることです。"

Simplified Meaning:

Writers, particularly poets, strive to make each piece of their writing comprehensive on its own. They aim for every section of their work to feel like a complete story, with a clear start, development, climax, and conclusion. Imagine reading a short story where, even if you just read one paragraph, you get a sense of the entire plot. This makes their writing powerful and meaningful, no matter how little or how much you read. For instance, think of a good song. Even if you listen to just a single verse, it often tells a mini-story that fits into the song’s overall narrative. In your own life, when telling someone about a personal experience, you could craft the story so well that even a brief moment captures the essence of the whole event. This approach ensures your message is clear and memorable.
