Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Feeling for Nature in English Pastoral Poetry There are doubtless many lovers of literature to whom the attempt to discover a feeling for nature in Pastoral Poetry, will seem a hopeless endeavor. In the history of imaginative and emotive verse, the pastoral somehow appears to have been looked upon as a mode of writing quite incapable of any genuine sympathy with the real things of life, least of all with nature herself, the subject of the pastoral being seldom alluded to, save as a synonym for cold and affected conventionality. Yet some of the greatest poets essayed this mode, and in the shepherd´s garb, failed not to make "the too much loved earth more lovely." Whether the poet be able so to project himself into nature, as to cause her to interpret herself to him, must assuredly depend more upon the genius of the artist himself, than upon the mode of his expression. The pastoral poet, not less than any poet, must in some Way discover that quality interwoven with the essential texture of creation, which we call beauty, for only as he does so, is he true to nature and to poetry. We venture, therefore, upon the ´a priori´ statement that all verse not founded on nature lacks the quality of poetry, and becomes only a convenient way of talking nonsense.
