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.
