The Tower Light, Vol. 7 : October, 1933-June, 1934 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Tower Light, Vol. 7: October, 1933-June, 1934

A poet would have employed a different medium. His would have been a glowing and vivid vocabulary; color words but also sound words. Words that sounded like the warm and sparkling broo words that made the reader hear the music of the peasant wedding; words that echoed the march of feet and the clash of mail. We would have heard the sparkle of the first brook, the cool tranquillity of the second. The rapids of the cataract would have been a dull roar and the disporting of the water nymphs a mere whisper. A poet would have added charm and beauty by the addition of a new element rhythm. His words would have sung themselves into a song - now gay and lilting, now rapid. His poem would have had form. A definite meter and a correct rhyming scheme would have made the words a composition. A poet would have written a poem.
