Answer: Poets have the difficult task of incorporating real emotions and facts into the settings they imagine.
Marianne Moore was part of the imagist movement, and she advocated the use of extremely real elements in the imaginary settings that poetry produces. She believed that the difficult task of the poem was to add these very real themes (the real toads) that resonate will all humans into their fanciful, imaginary worlds (the imaginary gardens). This is the only way in which poetry would become genuine.
