Selections From Five English Poets: Edited With Introduction and Notes (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover
Excerpt from Selections From Five English Poets: Edited With Introduction and Notes
When a poem is read aloud it is easy to realize that poetry is closely related to music. Like music it awakens vague, mysterious feelings which cannot be expressed in ordinary speech and the person who fails to catch the subtle melody of a poem gets but little from it even though he understands perfectly the mean ing of the words. To illustrate this, put into common place prose a passage of beautiful verse, for instance, lines 3 58 - 372 of Tke Ancient Mariner, beginning, Sometimes a-dropping from the sky, - and then compare the prose version with the original. flthe two will be found as unlike as the flower after it has been dissected by the botanist, and the same flower still on the stalk, opening its petals to the morning sun.
