Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Months, and Other Poems Three things are required in Art: perception, selection, expression. In one beautiful old sentence of Boccaccio´s is more meaning than in many more sophisticated definitions of poetry; he wrote that it is fervor quidam exquisite inveniendi et exquisite dicendi quod inveneris. For the first part we may regard this faculty as an active glow of discovery and taking possession, and, passively, as an exceptional sensitiveness to impressions. Unless endowed with a mind that is aware of much in the world of sensible experience which escapes common perceptions and is at all times subtle and fleeting, nobody begins to be a poet. It belongs to his office to open his reader´s eyes and sharpen their ears for them and quicken their affections, just because his ´invention´ is more ´exquisite.´ To the brute undistinguished mass of objects he can apply more powerful solvents than the majority command. Nature is only ´vocal to the initiated´; to the rest either muteness or a bewildering din. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
