Words become filled with meaning for us by experience: and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past: and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.

This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary(文字的)style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words.
