A Poet must Feel what he Writes

The Earl of Roscommon. "A Poet must Feel what he Writes." New York Saturday Press. 18 Jan. 1859: 4.
Type: 
newspaper
Genre: 
poetry
Abstract: 

Poetry cannot be contrived, but comes straight from a poet's feelings. To produce truly inspirational work, one must be patient for the "summons" of the Muse. “Mere human lines” result from a poet’s “adulterate” effort.
