Quote on Poetry by Edgar Allan Poe
Previous Quote
"Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it 'the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.' The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of 'Artist.'"
Next Quote
"Words have no power to impress the mind without the exquisite horror of their reality."
