Abstract

This article explores the timeless nature of poetry, positioning it as a vehicle for transcending temporal boundaries. Through a detailed analysis of poetic structures, metaphors, and philosophical underpinnings, we examine how poetry operates as a form of time travel. Poems link past experiences to present consciousness and project future imaginings, allowing both poets and readers to traverse eras, emotions, and existential reflections. By invoking Shakespeare's concept of "eternal lines," we explore the continuity of human thought through verses, comparing this with scientific theories of time, and offering insights into how poetry collapses the linear progression of time.
