Poe see truly enough that the enforcement of truth,in itself,does not constitute poetry,and on the basis of the elementary observation he falls into the common romantic error,which may be stated briefly as follows:truth is not poetry; truth should therefore be eliminated from poetry,in the interests of a purer poetry.He would,in short,advise us to retain the attitude,but to discard the object of the attitude.The correct formula,on the other hand,would be this:truth is not poetry; poetry is truth and something more.It is the completeness of the poetic experience which makes it valuable.How thoroughly Poe would rob us of all subject-matter,how thoroughly he would reduce poetry,from its traditional position,at least when ideally considered,as the act of complete comprehension,to a position of triviality and of charlatanism,we shall presently see.
