Calligraphy can be compared with poetry. Rather than disclosing all the meanings of a work, a poet invites readers and listeners to think about the poetic images and perhaps even to interpret them differently. This helps audiences to merge their own desires, intimate feelings and unique insights informed by personal experience with the words of the poet. Calligraphy enjoys the same expressive abilities as poetry, since all the arts are interrelated, each one paving the way for the other.
