Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Study of Poetry In old days, as we all know, from the childhood of the race, poetry was regarded as a form of inspiration. One word stands in Latin for poet and prophet, just as ´hard´ in English carries both meanings; Herodotus tells us that Homer and Hesiod made the theogony of the Greeks; the Book of Job and the Prophecies of Isaiah are poems. Expressions which arose naturally from this view are still familiar to us. We still hear of the Muses; writers are even found to invoke them; and up to this very day the poet is supposed to be visited by an ´inspiration,´ or affected by a ´divine afflatus.´ The words have become little better than cant; for they no longer represent a genuine belief. But sometimes we may hope that the disappearance of the belief has not really touched that feeling of reverence from which the belief arose and which gave it its value.
