On the Diffrences between Poetry and Prose
In T.E. Hulme's "On the Differences between Poetry and Prose", I agree that poetry should appeal to the senses and prose can't accomplish that as well. Hulme states, "It is a compromise for a language of intuition which would hand over sensations bodily." Hulme makes the point that poetry appeals to the senses, that it focuses on image versus abstraction. “There are in prose,” Hulme states, “certain type situations and arrangements of words, which move as automatically into certain other arrangements as do functions in algebra.” He suggests that, "prose is an old pot that lets them leak out".
