Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Village; And Other Poems: Religious and Miscellaneous Poetry is the music of the soul. And little music is there in a soul for which poetry has no charms. As in the outward, so in the inward ear, a great variety of capacity and discrimination is discoverable. But within the extremes of low, vulgar, tasteless incapacity, at the one end, and lofty, refined, and exquisite taste, and power of appreciation, and origination, at the other, there is comprehended an innumerable host of human minds of an almost infinite diversity of shades of difference in their relish for poetry, and delight under its influence. And who is there of any sentiment or ideality that has not attempted poetry at one time or another? All do not succeed; but to know this, is to know that many wish to do. And what harm in the wish? Let the endeavour be encouraged; the tune might be worse spent. If one fail, another may ¬ and society, as well as the respective individuals, may be somewhat the better for it. But what is Poetry? the question, though often asked, and often attempted to be answered, may be mooted again. Not rhyme, not jingle, not words, constitute poetry. Many a rhymster, poetaster, amateur, connoisseur, has been dubbed a poet, without much rhyme or reason. Perhaps they have adopted the poetic maxim of a great Poet: - "For rhyme with reason may dispense, And sound has right to govern sense."
