WILLIAMSJI MAVELI - LITERARY ESSAY: POETRY AND PHILOSOPHY: One

POETRY AND PHILOSOPHY

• We all were born on this planet earth with creative talents and aptitude, but we need to make use of the abilities or power offered by God Almighty. Poetry is divine. It is like a prayer for all of us. It can inspire a crowd; it can transform a human mind. Poetry can remove all hills and mountains. It can cover up all valleys, and dry up all oceans; it can bring revolution, love, and harmony.
• It is an important implication of the high conception of poetic truth which we have now reached, that the poet who is a philosopher no less than the philosopher who is not a poet must be held responsible in the fullest degree for the soundness of the foundations upon which he builds his arguments and rests his conclusions.
• The widest margin may be allowed to every poet for the play of his imagination so long as his purpose is only to delight in the creation of beauty. But the moment he enters upon the work of a teacher, we demand that his teachings shall satisfy the understanding as well as engage the fancy and touch the heart.
