The Name and Nature of Poetry by A.E. Houseman

[Jules Siegel]

"Even when poetry has a meaning, as it usually has, it may be inadvisable to
draw it out. 'Poetry gives most pleasure' said Coleridge 'when only
generally and not perfectly understood'; and perfect understanding will
sometimes almost extinguish pleasure."

Press, 1933.
