Excerpt from PoemsDeep and pure are poetic laws, yet, deeper still is its source Pure and sweet are its in¿uences more lovely, yet, its force It is the deep essence of love ¿owing from a foun tain-head, Where to a purer, richer, source of life no stream hath e'er led. Any prose production may be given in rhyme and meter, Yet, it is not poetry, but, is only render'd sweeter. Language like metal, must be under many for ges, wrought, Each time show forth a deeper, and richer, and purer thought Until all dross and all baseness wholly extracted be, Thus and thus alone we pure poetic verse may hope to see. Each subject has a poetic side, but poets lone can View, But of the subject in itself alone, this is never true, The poetic side only can see in the Creator's plan, And the wonders view'd are but the plastic beau ties oi His hand. There is a poetic essence in every human speech, But how few are the minds that can that deep pure essence reach? How sweet and lovely must be that speech, all dross extracted from, Each word growing sweeter, - All forming a more elegant psalm. How great must be that knowledge, where only words most pure are heard, Where by purer'love and beauty the heart's being ever cheer'd.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
