The difference between prose logic and poetic thought is simple. the logician uses words as a builder uses bricks, for the unemotional deadness of his academic prose; and is always coining newer, deader words with a natural preference for greek formations. the poet avoids the entire vocabulary of logic unless for satiric purposes, and treats words as living creatures with a preference for those with long emotional histories dating from mediaeval times. poetry at its purest is, indeed, a defiance of logic.
