In many ways, that's what poetry or music is all about- the ability to project or show something through the art itself to raise all of these kinds of emotions to a higher level, just the way a good writing teacher will sometimes ask you to 'show' rather than to 'tell'.
from Paul McCartney's Lyrics (link below)
Had the Beatles not become the Beatles, I would have thought that Paul would have become an art teacher. Along with John and George, they were in that type of school.
Paul writes that he would have been an Engish teacher instead. The above quote touches on that; the second link expands upon that. In his book, Paul mentions Mr. Durband several times as being an inspiring teacher.
About half of my high school teaching career was spent teaching English or an English elective, and more of my college adjunct career as well. I only hope that some of the people I taught think this well of me, even if they do not achieve stardom
