Do People Today Care for Poetry
A French critic argues poetry has had its day and Western civilization no longer needs great poets. The writer counters that the critic is unpoetic and not moved by rhythm, denying the decline of poetry and defending its enduring value.
Long View on Poets Across Ages and Forms
The excerpt argues future generations may produce great poets who will find new themes and express them with imagery and musical form, as prose cannot replace poetry. It contrasts enduring poets like Homer, Shakespeare, Goethe, and Tennyson with the slower emergence of new masters, noting English and French prose cannot fully fulfill poetry’s role.
