Poetry

»Poetry is not a part of nature, not even the best or choicest part. Still less is it a reflection of nature, which would lead to a mockery of the law of identity; but it is something that, with astonishing independence, settles down in a new extraspecial field of action, not so much narrating nature as acting out by means of its instruments, which are commonly called images.«
