WILLIAMSJI MAVELI'S POETIC INK Vol I
Poetry is an interpretation of human life as life itself is in the minds of the interpreters. What, then it has to be asked, is the essential elements within the interpretations of human life that we describe as poetic or blissful? We have only to think carefully of the connotations of the word poetical and an answer will at once suggest itself.
By poetical we understand the emotional and the imaginative. In this sense, we use the word in current conversation to describe a person, a book whatever its subject or form, maybe a picture, an idea thrown out in talk. By the poetical interpretations of human life, therefore, we mean a treatment of its facts, experiences, and problems, in which the emotional and imaginative elements predominate.
