Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Living Poets of England, Vol. 1: Specimens of the Living British Poets, With Biographical and Critical Notices and an Essay on English Poetry The influence of poetry extends to every intellectual production, and as the virtue, generosity, and capacity of the young may generally be appreciated by their taste for the finer arts, so the collective mind of a nation, its tendency to improvement, or its progress in degeneracy, may be correctly estimated, by its devotion to the Muses, and the character and celebrity of its poets. Poetry is not merely the decoration but the vivifying spirit of literature. It is the wine of the mind, which not only exhilarates but strengthens. It is like the bloom on the female cheek, which at once beautifies and is a mark of health: or like the various flowers which spring up on a luxuriant soil, which both delight the eye and ascertain the fertility of the ground.
