Abstract

MUCH has been written on the essential characteristics of poetry, and many opinions have been expressed upon the relative values to be attached to form and content, metre and rhythm, imagination and emotion in its composition. In the evolution of the various species of poetry from classical epic to modern verse, almost as many styles can be observed as meanings are attached to the range of science. Early poetic conceptions of manifestations of Nature are represented in Nature myths, which may be regarded as the beginning of poetry, and are developed to a supreme standard in the creations of Greek mythology.
