Man Is A Creative Retrospection Of Nature

From What The Moderns Want, We Must Learn What Poetry Should Become; From What The Ancients Did, What Poetry Must Be.

The Most Important Thing In Love Is The Sense For One Another, And The Highest Thing The Faith In One Another. Devotion Is The Expression Of That Faith, And Pleasure Can Revive And Enhance That Sense, Even If Not Create It, As Is Commonly Thought. Therefore, Sensuality Can Delude Bad Persons For A Short Time Into Thinking They Could Love Each Other.

In Every Good Poem Everything Must Be Both Deliberate And Instinctive. That Is How The Poem Becomes Ideal.

Poetry Can Be Criticized Only Through Poetry. A Critique Which Itself Is Not A Work Of Art, Either In Content As Representation Of The Necessary Impression In The Process Of Creation, Or Through Its Beautiful Form And In Its Liberal Tone In The Spirit Of The Old Roman Satire, Has No Right Of Citizenship In The Realm Of Art.

To Disrespect The Masses Is Moral; To Honor Them, Lawful.
