The mental features discoursed of as the analytical, are, in themselves, but little susceptible of analysis. we appreciate them only in their effects. we know of them, among other things, that they are always to their possessor, when inordinately possessed, a source of the liveliest enjoyment.
The object, truth, or the satisfaction of the intellect, and the object, passion, or the excitement of the heart, are, although attainable, to a certain extent, in poetry, far more readily attainable in prose.
I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of beauty. its sole arbiter is taste. with the intellect or with the conscience, it has only collateral relations. unless incidentally, it has no concern whatever either with duty or with truth.
