Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Modern Poetry In his essay on the poetic principle Poe defines the art of verse as 'the rhythmical creation of beauty', and finds its source in the human aspiration to supernal loveliness. In The Raven, more than in any of his poems, the form is direct in its appeal to the reader's mind, in calling up before us the effulgence of another world, in expressing that thirst for immortality, which is the true essence of poetry. Here all is transformed by the magic of art, and endowed with a wider meaning and a deeper significance; we perceive that the bird is a symbol of despair, - that the poet's eager questions are not only suggested by his love for the lost Lenore, but spring out of his heart's core as spiritual flowers aspiring to an eternal sun, - that they are indeed the utterance of his intense and ardent yearning for everlasting life. In this mystic transfiguration of reality, sublimity is attained; we enjoy the pure ecstasy of beauty in the sincere, perfect manifestation of a noble soul.
