    Abstract

    Abstract
    "Poetry is the soul in vision, in flight, in ecstasy; its charm is tangible’ only by the soul." This definition of poetry gives the sum total of its essence. Poetry reguires(sic) soul appreciation. There is something of the spirit in it. According to its mission, it reaches out to take hold of facts spiritual in their nature, and so shapes those facts as to make them more universal in their appeal. Per anyone who esteems poetry a mere sentiment, a bubbling over, an efflorescence, a froth of the imagination, there is no message in this form of expression. For them poetry has no stability, no firmness. It is a Kind of an ethereal something that lends a passing charm.
