El poema, como ejercicio de pensamiento alado, ha de conformar no solo una figura significativa, sino que ha de tener el contenido discursivo suficiente para que el tal discurso que alimenta tenga una formalidad latente, expresiva, en el lector. Él es su destinatario, y, en tal sentido, el depositario y transmisor del aprendizaje que los versos alimentan.

If metaphysics is the morningtide of art, and if the whilom is arrayed by the minion ideas of soul (“Seele”), world (“Welt”) and God (“Gott”), and if these flapping cloddish concepts are the tokens of the three main cravings of the human mind, videlicet, the setting of strong adjectives, the hoisting of stout hypotheses, and the blurbing of cosmogonies and apocalypses, then artists are those who can depict objects by means of an original garb, arrange them in an unmovable manner, and homogenizing them without lacking of accurateness. An artist is, ere all, one indued with the wit to beget a new sleight, to contrive hallowed dispositions, and to harmonize sundry objects within a tale.
