Opis: A Study of Dante (Classic Reprint) - Blow Susan E.

Excerpt from A Study of Dante

The great world-poets, of whom it is usual to reckon 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 perfection 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 profound insight with which they have treated the problem of life in its varied aspects. Their poems may be called ethical poems on account of the manner in which they have shown the reaction of the social whole 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, - without having attained the ethical insight. The ethical insight 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.
