Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Confessional: And Other Poems Two things are demanded by his generation of the man who publishes a volume of poems: first that what he has to say be inexpressible in prose; next that his poesy be music. Not his philosophy, nor his fancy, nor his invention, nor his learning will help him without those. In these days prose has finally become, by degrees too various to summarise here, so fluid and relaxed that you can almost write sonnets in it; and, as for music, the rooted habit of reading poetry instead of hearing it read has made rhythm and rhyme rather a hindrance to it than a gain. The whole of modern practice is against them. The only rhapsodists left to us are the actors, and of these there are but enough to fill the fingers who allow for the added effect which rhythm or rhyme, or both, may give to the lines which they declaim.
