"As the eyes of Lynceus were said to see through the earth, so the poet
turns the world to glass, and shows us all things in their right series and pro-
cession. For, through that better perception, he stands one step nearer to
things, and sees the flowing or metamorphosis. The poet alone knows
astronomy, chemistry, vegetation, and animation, for he does not stop at
these facts, but employs them as signs."-EMERSON: The Poet.
