A.E. Housman Quotes

When I Examine My Mind And Try To Discern Clearly In The Matter, I Cannot Satisfy Myself That There Are Any Such Things As Poetical Ideas. No Truth, It Seems To Me, Is Too Precious, No Observation Too Profound, And No Sentiment Too Exalted To Be Expressed In Prose. The Utmost I Could Admit Is That Some Ideas Do, While Others Do Not, Lend Themselves Kindly To Poetical Expression; And That Those Receive From Poetry An Enhancement Which Glorifies And Almost Transfigures Them, And Which Is Not Perceived To Be A Separate Thing Except By Analysis.
