Imagination for Coleridge is the creative faculty possessed
by poets. This shaping power of
imagination enables the poet to configure the work as a unified whole. Both primary and secondary imagination—the former
is involuntary where as the latter is a conscious form—have the same faculty of
recreation. Fancy on the contrary is
made of memory emancipated from the order of time and space, modified by the
empirical phenomenon of the will. Coleridge
makes poetic genius identical with imagination, and poetic talent with fancy.

71) “The
humblest craftsman over near the Aemilian school will model fingernails and
imitate waving hair in bronze; but the total work will be unhappy because he
does not know how to represent it as a unified whole. I should no more wish to
be like him, if
I desired to compose something, than to be praised for my dark hair and eyes
and yet go through life with my nose turned awry. You who write, take a subject
equal to your powers, and consider at length how much your shoulders can bear. Neither
proper words nor lucid order will be lacking to the writer who chooses a
subject within his powers. The excellence and charm of the arrangement,
I believe, consists in the ability to say only what needs to be said at the
time, deferring or omitting many points for the moment. The author of the
long-promised poem must accept and reject as he proceeds.”

Gives advice

72) “The ancient poets animated all sensible
objects with gods or geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with
the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and
whatever their enlarged and numerous senses could perceive.
“And
particularly they studied the genius of each city and country, placing it under
its mental deity.
“Till
a system was formed, which some took advantage of, and enslaved the vulgar by
attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects: thus
began priesthood; choosing forms of worship from poetic tales.
“And
at length they pronounced that the gods had ordered such things.
“Thus
men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.

73) “I had not a dispute but a disquisition with
Dilke on various subjects; several things dovetailed in my mind, and at once it
struck me what quality went to form a man of achievement especially in
literature and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously-I mean negative
capability, that
is when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without
any irritable reaching after fact and reason-Coleridge, for instance, would let
go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the penetralium of mystery,
from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge.”

74) Well, we are all condamnes. as
Victor Hugo says: "les
hommes sont tous condamnes a mort avec des sursis indejinis ": we have an interval, and then our place knows
us no more. Some spend this interval in listlessness, some in high passions,
the wisest in art and song. For our one chance is in expanding that interval,
in getting as many pulsations as possible into the given time. High passions
give one this quickened sense of life, ecstasy and sorrow of love, political or
religious enthusiasm. or the "enthusiasm of humanity." Only, be sure
it is passion, that it does yield you this fruit of a quickened, multiplied
consciousness. Of this wisdom, the poetic passion, the desire of beauty, the
love of art for art's sake has most; for art comes to you professing frankly to
give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for
those moments' sake.

75) Or, after dark, will dubious women come
To make their children touch a particular stone;
Pick simples for a cancer; or on some
Advised night see walking a dead one?
Power of some sort will go on
In games, in riddles, seemingly at random;
But superstition, like belief, must die,
And what remains when disbelief has gone?

43) “Our
sight is the most perfect and most delightful of all our senses. It fills the
mind with the largest variety of ideas, converses with its objects at the
greatest distance, and continues the longest in action without being tired or
satiated with its proper enjoyments. The sense of feeling can indeed give us a
notion of extension, shape, and all other ideas that enter at the eye, except
colors; but at the same time it is very much straitened and confined in its
operations, to the number, bulk, and distance of its particular objects.”

47) “Having
thus explained a few of my reasons for writing in verse, and why I have chosen
subjects from common life, and endeavored to bring my language near to the real
language of men, if I have been too minute in pleading my own cause, I have at
the same time been treating a subject of general interest; and for this reason
a few words shall be added with reference solely to these particular poems, and
to some defects which will probably be found in them. I am sensible that my associations
must have sometimes been particular instead of general, and that, consequently,
giving to things a false importance, I may have sometimes written upon unworthy
subjects; but I am less apprehensive on this account, than that my language may
frequently have suffered from those arbitrary connections of feelings and ideas
with particular words and phrases, from which no man can altogether protect
himself.”

32) “ As
for the having of them obnoxious to ruin; if they be of fearful natures, it may
do well; but if they be stout and daring, it may precipitate their designs, and
prove dangerous. As for the pulling of them down, if the affairs require it,
and that it may not be done with safety suddenly, the only way is the
interchange, continually, of favors and disgraces; whereby they may not know
what to expect, and be, as it were, in a wood.”

33) “To
anyone in the habit of thinking with his ears, the words 'cultural criticism' (Kulturkritik)
must have an offensive ring, not merely because, like 'automobile,' they are
pieced together from Latin and Greek. The words recall a flagrant contradiction.
The cultural critic is not happy with civilization, to which alone he owes his
discontent. He speaks as if he represented either unadulterated nature or a
higher historical stage.”

34) Find out the authors of the following
extracts.
a.
“Because, if I am not mistaken, we
shall have to say that about men poets and story-tellers are guilty of making
the gravest misstatements when they tell us that wicked men are often happy,
and the good miserable; and that injustice is profitable when undetected, but
that justice is a man's own loss and another's gain-these things we shall
forbid them to utter, and command them to sing and say the opposite.”
b.
“Our next subject will be the style of
expression. For it is not enough to know, what we ought to say; we must also
say it as we ought; much help is thus afforded towards producing the right
impression of a speech. The first question 'to receive attention was naturally
the one that comes first naturally-how persuasion can be produced from the
facts themselves. The second is how to set these facts out in language. A third
would be the proper method of delivery; this is a thing that affects the
success of a speech greatly; but hitherto the subject has been neglected.”
c.
And first, truly, to all them that
professing learning inveigh against poetry may justly be objected, that they go
very near to ungratefulness, to seek to deface that which, in the noblest
nations and languages that are known, hath been the first light-giver to ignorance,
and first nurse, whose milk by little and little enabled them to feed
afterwards of tougher know ledges.
d.
"For the second unity, which is
that of place, the ancients meant by it, that the scene ought to be continued
through the play, in the same place where it was laid in the beginning: for the
stage on which it is represented being but one and the same place, it is
unnatural to conceive it many; and those far distant from one another.”
