To burn always with this hard, gemlike flame, to maintain this ecstasy, is the success in life.
Walter Pater
For our one chance lies in expanding that interval, in getting as many pulsations as possible into the given time
Walter Pater
Now, then, is the moment for culture to be of service, culture which believes in making reason and the will of God prevail, believes in perfection, is the study and pursuit of perfection
Matthew Arnold Culture and Anarchy
"...culture indefatigably tries, not to make what each raw person may like the rule by which he fashions himself: but to draw ever nearer to a sense of what is indeed beautiful, graceful, and becoming, and to get the raw person to like that.
Matthew Arnold, Culture and Anarchy
In thus making sweetness and light to be characters of perfection, culture is of like spirit with poetry, follows one law with poetry.
Matthew Arnold, Culture and Anarchy
The most unfailing herald...of the awakening of a great people to work a beneficial change in opinion or institution, is poetry
Percy Shelley, A Defense of Poetry

William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads
"...humble and rustic life
William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads
My purpose was to imitate...the language of men
William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads
There will also be found in these volumes little of what is usually called poetic diction...this has been done for the reason...to bring my language nearer to the language of men
William Wordsworth, Preface to Lyrical Ballads
But the sense of musical delight...with the power of reducing multitude into unity of effect, and modifying a series of thoughts by someone predominant thought or feeling, may be cultivated and improved, but can never be learned
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
But it is that feigning notable images of virtues, vices, or what else, with that delightful teaching, which must be the right describing note to know the poet...
Percy Sidney, An Apology for Poetry
Therefore, if the senses other than the literal are less understood (which they are, as is quite apparent), it would be illogical to proceed to explain them if the literal had not been explicated first
Dante, Il Convivio
the first sense is that which is contained in the letter, while there is another which is contained in what is signified by the letter. The first is called the literal, while the second is called allegorical, or moral, or anagogical
Dante, Il Convivio
Hence those things that are taught metaphorically in one part of Scripture, in other parts are taught more openly
Aquinas, Summa Theologica
"...seeing that these [four] senses are not multiplied because one word signifies several things; but because the things signified by the words can be themselves types of other things
Aquinas, Summa Theologica
- "...is good poetry created by nature or by training? Personally, I cannot see what good enthusiasm is or uncultivated talent without a rich vein of genius...each requires the help of the other" (94)
Horace, The Art of Poetry
Tragedy is the imitation of an action"
Aristotle, Poetics
The true difference [between history and poetry] is that one relates what happened, the other what may happen... Poetry tends to express the universal, history the particular."
Aristotle, Poetics
Tragedy is an imitation not only of a complete action, but of events inspiring fear or pity
Aristotle, Poetics
