Poetry is an expression of imagination
The expressions happiness of a child to minor objects is the same in poetry to higher objects
A man becomes an object of pleasure for another man
Poet's language is vitally metaphorical
A poem is the very image of life expressed in its eternal truth
A story is a particular fact in a mirror which obscures and distorts that which should be beautiful; poetry is a mirror which makes beautiful that which is distorted.
A poet is a nightingale, who sits in darkness and sings to cheer its own solitude with sweet sounds; his auditors are men entranced by the melody of an unseen musician, who feel they are moved and softened, yet know not whence or why.
