Shakespeare possesses the power of subordinating nature for the purposes of expression, beyond all poets. his imperial muse tosses the creation like a bauble from hand to hand, and uses it to embody any caprice of thought that is uppermost in his mind. the remotest spaces of nature are visited, and the farthest sundered things are brought together, by subtle spiritual connection. we are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet.

More From Ralph Waldo Emerson

Alice doesn't seem to mind because she's laughing too, and biting her lip, all doe-eyed, and tossing her freshly washed hair, and norton tosses his lovely, glossy hair back, and she tosses her hair in return, and he tosses his, and she tosses hers, and it;s like some mating ritual on a wildlife program.
Hair Laughing Lovely
We are made aware that magnitude of material things is relative, and all objects shrink and expand to serve the passion of the poet. thus, in his sonnets, the lays of birds, the scents and dyes of flowers, he finds to be the shadow of his beloved; time, which keeps her from him, is his chest; the suspicion she has awakened, is her ornament
Flower Passion Bird
One of the surest tests of the superiority or inferiority of a poet is the way in which a poet borrows. immature poets imitate mature poets steal bad poets deface what they take and good poets make it into something better or at least something different. the good poet welds his theft into a whole of feeling which is unique utterly different than that from which it is torn the bad poet throws it into something which has no cohesion. a good poet will usually borrow from authors remote in time or alien in language or diverse in interest.

There is this tendency to think that if you could only find the magic way, then you could become a poet. "tell me how to become a poet. tell me what to do." . . . what makes you a poet is a gift for language, an ability to see into the heart of things, and an ability to deal with important unconscious material. when all these things come together, you're a poet. but there isn't one little gimmick that makes you a poet. there isn't any formula for it.

History does nothing, possesses no enormous wealth, fights no battles. it is rather man, the real, living man, who does everything, possesses, fights. it is not history, as if she were a person apart, who uses men as a means to work out her purposes, but history itself is nothing but the activity of men pursuing their purposes.

Art breaks open a dimension inaccessible to other experience, a dimension in which human beings, nature, and things no longer stand under the law of the established reality principle...the encounter with the truth of art happens in the estranging language and images which make perceptible, visible, and audible that which is no longer, or not yet, perceived, said, and heard in everyday life.

I can remember the times when i started including humor in novels that were suspenseful. i was told you can't do that because you can't keep the audience in suspense if they're laughing. my attitude was, if the character has a sense of humor, then that makes the character more real because that's how we deal with the vicissitudes of life, we deal with it through humor.
