In "Ars Poetica" and "Poetry" by Archibald MacLeish and Marianne Moore: What aspect of a poem should carry its meaning and emotions:

isn't this axel talking to his uncle?

that his long years of service outweigh any faults he may have had.

he wanted to be remembered for the good things he did, one of those being when he gave up office so others would follow suit, but george washington wasn’t a man who thought he was perfect, he knew he made mistakes. he was a very talented soldier with a natural gift of tactic.

i would need to know the specific part of the passage your referring to ?
