Excerpt from Aesthetical and Philosophical EssaysThe poet is a satirist when he takes as subject the distance at which things are from nature, and the contrast between reality and the ideal: as regards the impression received by the soul, these two subjects blend into the same. In the execution, he may place earnestness and passion, or jests and levity, according as he takes pleasure in the domain of the will or in that of the understanding. In the former case it is aveng ing and pathetic satire in the second case it is sportive, humourous, and mirthful satire.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
