Title
George Eliot's Poetry, and Other Studies
Description
- "A genuine poem is almost certain of recognition, as such, in the long run. If verse contains poetry, that poetry makes itself felt, whatever blemishes the verse, as verse, may have; but if dint of argument alone brings us to acknowledge faultless verse a poem, like Galileo, in the moment of recantation, we shall mutter to ourselves our former and unrecanted conviction. "
