Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The First International Railway and the Colonization of New England: Life and Writings of John Alfred Poor "Imagination is, in the popular mind, obstinately connected with poetry and romance. When the attempt is made to extend the application of the creative energy of the imagination to business and politics, the sentimental outcry against such a profanation of the term becomes almost deafening Every poetaster is willing to admit that Newton is one of the few grand scientific discoverers that the world has produced ; but he still thinks that, in virtue of versifying some commonplaces of emotion and thought, he is himself superior to Newton in imagination. In fact, it is the direction given to the creative faculty, and not the material on which it works, that discriminates between Fulton and Bryant, Whitney and Longfellow, Bigelow and Whittier, Goodyear and Lowell. Descending from the inventors, it would be easy to show that, in the conduct of the every-day transactions of life, more quickness of imagination, subtlety and breadth of understanding, and energy of will have been displayed by our men of business than by our authors."
