From SuspireWiki

(n., informal; also poetry) A well-crafted or intelligent argument, especially one which is personally or aesthetically appreciated, but that fails to truly achieve its goal. For example, a eulogy (q.v.) that earns great praise and genuine appreciation, but does not win political favor; a speech at court that succeeds in making other Kindred take the speaker’s issues seriously but fails to change the Prince’s decision on a recent proclamation.

To these Kindred it was a fucking revolution, but to the Prince it was just poetry.
