Wisdom improves our intuition, and as our intuition increases, we develop insight. Insight has a manifold meaning. Insight is:

  • an instance of apprehending the true nature of a thing, especially through intuitive understanding.
  • penetrating mental vision or discernment; faculty of seeing into inner character or underlying truth.
  • An unrecognized fundamental human truth that reveals the inner nature of things
  • A new way of perceiving your world which challenges the status quo and tradition.
  • Seeing into the underlying motivations that drive people’s actions.

In the field of Psychology, insight is

  • an understanding of relationships that sheds light on or helps solve a problem.
  • (in psychotherapy) the recognition of sources of emotional difficulty.
  • an understanding of the motivational forces behind one’s actions, thoughts, or behavior; self-knowledge.

While the poem plays with Insight through the phrase in sight. The themes and meanings of insight are a part of the underlining subtext.
