Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Poems I: Selected, Arranged and Annotated for the Use of Schools The arrangement of the following poems is based upon the belief that poetry appeals to, exercises, and strengthens the best feelings of the human heart. Indeed, poetry may be defined as the fit expression of fit emotion. This does not preclude its being intensely intellectual, as the noblest emotion follows on and is a result of the profoundest thought, and there is no right emotion that does not arise from a truthful view of things. To be a poet a man must see clearly, as well as feel deeply; and be able to express his feelings in such a way that kindred emotions rise in the hearts of others. Imagination - as distinguished from fancy is an essential characteristic of poetry, and imagination, after all, is nothing but an insight into the truth - which no man knows fully, yet some know far less imperfectly than others. If this dew is correct, science is not, as is maintained with painful frequency, inimical to poetry, but essential to its existence; the former, with its logical method, supplying the knowledge of truth, without which there can be neither poetry nor anything else that is excellent among men. In education they are complementary to each other, the one training the reasoning side and the other the emotional side of our nature.
