because I am more destructible than some other men, I must seek all the more to derive some advantage from what has a destructive effect on me … I must accept it in advance as indispensable material, without which my most inward being cannot ever entirely present itself. I must assimilate it, to arrange it … as shadows to my light … as subordinate tones among which the tone of my soul springs out all the more livingly
Here the writer trying to say before he write a poem he should assimilate all the destructible habits. He must derive all the good habits which make his soul living,because a poem is like a painting. A poet and a painter does the almost the same thing, they give messages to the society with their work. That's why when they start to create something for the society they should have a soul which is honest and living.
