Quoth the Raven
I would define, in brief, the Poetry of words as the Rhythmic creation
of Beauty. Its sole arbiter is Taste.
from The Poetic Principle
Were I called on to define the term Art, I should call it the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul. The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of Artist.
