“What is a Poet?... He is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endowed with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind; a man pleased with his own passions and volitions as manifested in the goings-on of the Universe, and habitually impelled to create them where he does not find them.”
~ William Wordsworth, Preface to the 2nd Edition of Lyrical Ballads
