Book Description
Excerpt from Poets of England and America: Being Selections From the Best Authors of Both Countries, Designed as a Companion to All Lovers of Poetry, With an Introductory Essay The essential requisites of good Poetry are Simplicity and Truth. By Simplicity is not to be understood nakedness, but that direct mode of appealing to the sympathies or affections, which is an invariable characteristic of the greatest writers. This directness does not exclude the exercise of fancy and imagi nation, but, in fact, increases their effect on the mind. Percy, in his Reliques, mentions a fragment Of an Old Ballad, where the de scription is the reverse of prosaic, although it is as concise as prose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.
