WILLIAMSJI MAVELI'S POETIC INK VOL III

Poets are the lovers of nature. All the countless objects of nature are a joy forever. God is the artist and nature is His own blessed poetic art. The mountains and the oceans the sky and the sea, the sun the moon and the stars, the flowers, and the meadows, the chirping of the birds and the music of the waters–all these possess an unearthly beauty.
Anyone who is blind to such beauties of nature and deaf to her music must be dead in soul. The visible shapes of nature, her sights and sounds speak to the poets the language of love and beauty.
Prose and poetry are two ways of classifying types of writing. Sometimes we group poetry according to the topic matter, say fiction, non-fiction, mystery, drama, and so on, but here we are grouping it according to format. Fortunately, the distinction between what is prose and what is poetry is usually pretty instinctive.
