Overview

Excerpt from Philosophy in Poetry: A Study of Sir John Davies Poem Nosce Teipsum What is true of English poetry in its relation to the problems of philosophy, is true of the great poetry of the world. The great poets of every age and of every nation deal with the fundamental problems of human thought and life. A careful inquiry into the history of poetry - both ancient and modern - reveals the fact that these vital problems of thought and life have not been the exclusive property of the philosopher and theo logian, but that the poet also has a legitimate claim upon them, having established it by the fact that these problems have proven to be a prolific source of poetic inspiration; an inex haustible storehouse of poetic content or subject matter.
