[BNP/E3, 18 – 61^r]

Essentials of poetry are three: Feeling, Colour and Form.

______________________________________________________________________

Poetical feeling, and in some degree Poetical Colour, may be used in prose; what especially distinguishes poetry is poetical form – Thus in the prose of Carlyle or of Ruskin, or of Jeremy Taylor there are fine passages of poetry, poetically coloured.

[BNP/E3, 18 – 61^r]

Os elementos essenciais da poesia são três: Sentimento, Cor e Forma.

______________________________________________________________________

O sentimento poético, e até certo grau a Cor Poética, podem ser usados em prosa; o que especificamente distingue a poesia é a forma poética – Assim na prosa de Carlyle ou de Ruskin, ou de Jeremy Taylor existem belas passagens de poesia, poeticamente coloridas.
