essay published in 1920-22 divided in three parts
the man who suffers and the man who creates is different / separate a writer’s role is objective he/she is catalyst agent ex, chemical process
sulphurous acid
oxygenplatinumSulphur dioxide
but when the acid is made, no trace of platinum found poet should be like platinum writer surrender himself totally to the creative work the ‘poem’ and the ‘poet’ are two separate things, - “ the feeling or the emotion, or vision from the poem is something different from the poet” theory of impersonality
First
• Relation of the poet to the past
second
• Relation of the poem to it’s Author
emotion and feeling compares the poet’s mind to a receptacle stored numberless feeling, emotion, images, phrases which remain there in an unorganized and chaotic thus poetry is organization rather than inspiration poem does not depend upon the intensity of the emotion but intensity of the process of poetic composition ex, Keats ‘Ode to Nightingale’ - number of feeling - which have nothing particular to do with nightingale - so, it is not well organized
the emotion of art
main concern of the poet is not the expression personality poet has, not a personality to express but a particular medium, which is only a medium and impressions and experience are important but man take no place in the poetry the art emotion is different from personal emotion
it is not in his personal emotion, the emotion provoked by particular events in his life,
no need to find new emotion use the ordinary one working on it, to express feeling which are not actual emotion at all the emotion of art is impersonal emotion has life in the poem, not in the history of poets poet’s biography not studied in poem but his evocative power important
