Study Notes

The End of Poetry

The end of poetry is to produce a pleasure that will impress its own image on the mind and remain with the reader.

Images and Feelings in Poetry

If images and feelings in poetry have an undue proportion of pain connected with them, the danger is that the reader may be left with painful associations that cannot be removed.

Pleasure of Metrically Arranged Words

Words metrically arranged may continue to impart pleasure to mankind because the pleasure they produce is not necessarily connected with the passion or image they convey, but with the musical qualities of the words themselves.

Regularity in Poetry

The text suggests that something regular in poetry, such as meter or rhyme, is essential for the production of pleasure, as it gives unity and harmony to the composition.

Nakedness and Simplicity in Poems

The text implies that nakedness and simplicity in poems are not essential, as the use of ornament and artifice can add to the pleasure of the reader, as long as it is not excessive.
