Excerpt from Consolation and Other Poems Poetry is its own excuse for being, And Poems are begotten and not made, Being of one substance with the Poet's soul, The living germs, dowered with perpetual life, Are in the mind, till vivifying Love, Clasping the Poet in divine embrace, Draws forth the spark of an immortal song, Which, fed and cultured, grows to its own sphere, Like a developed and harmonious spirit, A glory and a comfort to the world! Suggestion is the law of Poetry. Poetry is the spirit's lightning, which reveals, By vivid flashes of electric thought, That dread, divine gratuity named Life: Fathomless yearnings, mysteries infinite, Self wars, soul triumphs, white-hot agonies, As lightning bursts reveal the infinite night, Fathomless skies of cloud, vast scopes of earth, Wide sea expanses, looming mountain heights, Deep yawning gulfs, and rivers, plains and woods.
