But In The Finished Art Of The Song The Use Of Words Has No Connection With The Use Of Words In Poetry.

To Take An Analogy: If We Say That A Democratic Government Is The Best Kind Of Government, We Mean That It Most Completely Fulfills The Highest Function Of A Government - The Realisation Of The Will Of The People.

Poetry Is The Communication Through Words Of Certain Experiences That Can Be Communicated In No Other Way.

For While The Subjects Of Poetry Are Few And Recurrent, The Moods Of Man Are Infinitely Various And Unstable. It Is The Same In All Arts.
