Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Beauties of Modern British Poetry: Systematically Arranged To the question - What is Poetry? - various answers have been given. By some, its essence has been said to consist in imitation; and, by others, in fiction. But these qualities, though very common and important, are neither necessary nor exclusive elements in its composition; for, imitation properly belongs only to one department of it - the Dramatic - and truth and reality may be the materials of the purest Poetry; while the humblest Prose may, and frequently does, embrace fiction and imitation. The close affinity between Poetry and Eloquence, or highly impassioned Prose, renders it difficult, if not impossible, to point out exactly the line of demarcation between them, or to give a definition of the former so comprehensive as to embrace all that really belongs to it, and at the same time so restrictive as to exclude what lies beyond its legitimate bounds. By Dr. Blair, it has been defined "the language of passion, or of enlivened imagination, formed, most commonly, into regular numbers." But whatever difficulty there may be in giving an abstract definition of Poetry, its difference from Prose is sufficiently marked to be felt and recognised by any one not void of judgment or sensibility.
