Description
Excerpt from A Study of Dante
The great world-poets, of whom it is usual to four - including Homer, Shakespeare, and Goethe, besides Dante, - hold their supreme place in popular estimation as much on account of the themes they have treated as on account of the per faction of poetic form which belongs to their great works. They have one and all distinguished their literary work from that of other poets by the pro found insight with which they have treated the prob lem of life in its varied aspects. Their poems may ethical poems on account of the manner in which they have shown the reaction of the social whale against the attacks of Titanic individuals. One may write poetry for poets, as it is called such poetry as has attained to the great vision of the correspondence of nature to the soul of Man, - with out having attained the ethical insight. The ethical in sight sees the substantiality of institutions - family, state, church, - and does not often come to the poet until he has reached the middle of his life''s journey.
