To me, "swift" seems more poetic; it suggests a more refined and elegant kind of speed.

Hmm. I'd say that you can use swift to refer to the speed and quick to refer to the duration of time.
The current is swift, so our boat trip was quick.
This is just a suggestion - I'm sure there are many examples that don't work this way.
