9 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +1
peer agreement (net): +1Multiple meanings Explanation: I think that you need to understand this line as poetry, i.e. language used in a condensed and intensified way that frequently conveys layered or multiple meanings. Whether or not "intensest" is a grammatically correct substitute for "most intense" really doesn't matter, it is what is needed here for the line to flow and it may even have a stronger impact for not being a usual form. There is a (deliberate) ambiguity about "intensest being", which can be the "intensest being" of the poet, of the reader or an abstract idea about existence and all three at once. "The very heart of all experience" is both all of human experience in reality and as an abstract concept. |
