Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from English Lyrics Those who insist on the original meanings of words may perhaps find it difficult to distinguish between an ode and a lyric, except that the latter term specified the instrument which should accompany the song. But the classes of poem are in fact widely separated, and we feel, if we do not accurately discriminate, the difference between them. It would not be easy to better Mr. Gosse´s definition of an ode. ´We take,´ he says, ´as an ode any strain of enthusiastic and exalted lyrical verse, directed to a fixed purpose, and dealing progressively with one dignified theme. A lyric, on the other hand, is a short poem dealing with one thought, essentially melodious in rhythm and structure, and, if a metaphor may be taken from the sister art, a simple air, without progression, variation, or accompaniment. If we wish to make the essentials of a lyric still clearer to ourselves, we shall find we are compelled to do so by negatives.
