Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Uses of Poetry I must at once confess that my title, 'The Uses of Poetry, ' is more or less deceptive. I intended to speak of that subject alone; but I found that I should only follow stumbling in the footprints of Sidney, Wordsworth, and Shelley if I attempted to describe the ways in which poetry enriches, purifies, and elevates life. At the same time I remembered, in more formal debates on poetry, so much confusion with respect to this notion of 'use, ' that I thought it would be more profitable, if much more dry, to endeavour to diminish it. And, even in that part of my address which really deals with one of the uses of poetry, my main object has still been the clarification of ideas. When we ask of what use is poetry, we are regarding it solely as a means to an end. The question of its use or uses involves, therefore, the question of its end or ends; and on this much has been said both casually and in long discussions. We may find answers in the poets themselves. Pope's assertion that Shakespeare wrote 'for gain, not glory, ' might be taken to imply that a poet's choice is confined to these two ends. For Browning, on the other hand, 'his song' was his 'due to God, ' as, for Michael Angelo, the purpose of his art was the glory of God, and not of Michael Angelo. Keats confessed that he 'ever felt athirst for glory, ' but still he held that 'the great end of poetry' was to be a friend To soothe the cares and lift the thoughts of man: and that may be taken as a fair summary of the fuller statements of Wordsworth. Five aims have now been mentioned, and I will appeal to only one poet more. Burns declared that he had no aim at all: Some rhyme a neighbour's name to lash; Some rhyme (vain thought!) for needfu' cash; Some rhyme to court the country clash, And raise a din; For me, an aim I never fash - I rhyme for fun. On this and on the other testimony of the poets I may offer one remark. All poets rhyme for fun. What Burns meant by the phrase is explained by two lines in the preceding stanza: Just now I've ta'en the fit o' rhyme, My barmie noddle's working prime. Every poet, I say, when he is writing, writes because his noddle is barmie (yeasty); in other words, because something is working in his head and wants to be expressed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Meaning and Value of Poetry The business of the scientist in his laboratory is, from first to last, with things as they are in themselves. His dominant purpose is to ascertain fact as fact - to learn, in any given case, what is, and the processes by which it came to be as it is. In order to reach his generalizations and establish his laws, he observes with the most patient atten tion, he analyzes with the most scrupulous care, all the phenomena he can bring together for investigation; follows up every clue and suggestion; applies every test within his reach; and though, as an aid in his task, he may ofien frame tentative conclusions and hypotheses, he is never satis fied with such - never gives them out to the world, or re gards them for himself, as more than tentative - but seeks always to substitute for them the reality of rigid and irre fragable proof. Now, such work obviously demands, before all things, a mind free from prejudice and prepossessions, a single eye for the matter in hand, reservation of judgment, and an absolute willingness to accept without hesitation or12 the meaning and value OF poetry.

Download or read book Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People Classic Reprint written by Richard Lovell Edgeworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People by Richard Lovell Edgeworth undertakes the laborious task of deconstructing poetry for the benefit of young readers so that they are able to appreciate the essence and meaning of words in rhyme. Edgeworth highlights the lack of understanding and imperfect knowledge of words and phrases as one of the mains reasons for making incorrect assumptions related to poetry. This problem is not just relevant for students but poets themselves. In this context, Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People provides detailed insights into the use of different styles of writing, selection of words and phrases as well meters which signify the tone of the poem. The title is spread across six chapters along with an introduction that postulates the different styles with the help of extracts from various poems by well-known poets. Edgeworth chooses six works of poetry which signify separate styles of writing and provides meanings and explanations for chosen stanzas. These include works by Collin, Gray and Milton among others. Shakespeare's speech of Henry the Fifth is particularly well researched and the author is able to bring out finer nuances that many readers might not notice even after repeated readings. Edgeworth takes on the bold task of bringing out elements of poetry which some might find frivolous as he himself points out in the preface but just a glance through Poetry Explained for the Use of Young People will put all doubts to rest as this is one title that can be used as a ready reference for students, poets and especially casual readers looking to understand the true meaning of the poetry they adore.
