Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies in Several Literatures It may be asserted as a general truth that no very long poem can be read at a sitting with pleasure and appreciation. However we may define poetry, it is certainly a more elevated and impassioned form of expression than prose. It demands a closer attention, a more alert attitude of apprehension on the reader´s part. Wordsworth has very well said that the end of poetry is to produce excitement in co-existence with an overbalance of pleasure. But this excitement, this tension of the mind and of the emotions, can not be very long supported before we grow conscious of a certain strain. The air becomes too rarefied for us to breathe quite naturally. As soon as this occurs, there is no longer "an overbalance of pleasure." We can not remain for a long time upon the heights. Our feelings grow relaxed. We seek the lower levels with a sensation of relief. We have been stimulated and exalted; but in a comparatively short time this stimulation and exaltation tax us too severely.
