Excerpt from Seership and Prophecy
If we would fully appreciate the position which the poetic art may properly be said to occupy, it becomes necessary for us to consider the place which the poet himself has held in human experience. This is to be gathered from the very signification of the term which we employ in order to designate him. On consulting the dictionary, it is found that the word itself means nothing more than a maker - a definition which, as we ponder the problem, becomes particularly luminous, since at all ages the poet has stood forth as one who has created and fashioned the thoughts which, as time has gone on, have fulfilled themselves in the ears of succeeding generations. Even to this day we find the poets anticipating the tendencies and discoveries of the age, which from the psychological standpoint possesses no little interest for the more philosophical inquirer.
