Excerpt from Two Lectures Introductory to the Study of PoetryThat is no doubt an extreme case, but it is all the more useful as an illustration. It helps us to realize how potent a faculty is the endow ment of the dramatist, which can pierce through human appearance to its essential qualities. Can conceive by a sure instinct how, in given circum stances, the given character must act, and can represent it to us, because it is vivid to him, in all the verisimilitude of essential detail. Such imagination is plainly one large and special side of the faculty of seeing things out of their commonplace associations. As a branch of the same head would rank the still rarer power of conceiving types of character, that for certain reasons have no actual existence in the world we know, such types as Shakespeare's Ariel and Caliban and Puck.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
