It was a tremendous theme, worthy of a poet of an ampler intellectual endowment than Hovey’s.
It is, at all events, a remarkable feat in rhythm-building, astonishing in the easy mastery with which the poet passes from one movement to another and in the variety of musical effects.

Amid the demands of the "real" world as defined by emperors, popes, patriarchs and property, poets and poetry "savor[ed] of madness" when listeners were so overpowered that they lost their true sense of things "important" in the world.

 Alexander Blok's Biography
It is important to be aware of the mythopoeic character of Blok's poetry: he gave his own life a supra-personal meaning, perceived it as a religious tragedy (in his mystic strivings he was close to the Gnostics and undogmatic branches of Christianity).
These poems may be perceived as an intimate lyric diary; yet in terms of a symbolist "poetics of correspondences," the transcendent reveals itself to the poet in the mundane, and amatory, psychological, or landscape verse becomes timeless myth incarnate.
The poet's friends A. Bely and S. Solovyov (and to some extent Blok himself) perceived this period as a betrayal of former ideals and even as religious apostasy.

Of the poets from whom it culls, Donne is familiar with the definitions and distinctions of Mediaeval Scholasticism; Cowley's bright and alert, if not profound mind, is attracted by the achievements of science and the systematic materialism of Hobbes.
In dealing with poets who lived and wrote before the eighteenth century we are always confronted with the difficulty of recovering the personal, the biographical element, which, if sometimes disturbing and disconcerting, is yet essential to a complete understanding of their work.
The poet in whom the English Church of Hooker and Laud, the Church of the via media in doctrine and ritual, found a voice of its own, was George Herbert, the son of Donne's friend Magdalen Herbert, and the younger brother of Lord Herbert of Cherbury.

 M. Dezember: Poets as Modern Art Critics
Some of the most adept critics were poets, as poets, like painters, make images, and like painters who abstracted their images, poets arrange symbolic codes (words) to create meaning.
Poets and painters are bound by a common mission: to communicate to others "the spirit of his age" (Jaffé 285).
The art criticism by poets as the unveiling of the redemptive symbols of modern art, which simultaneously promoted compositional elements as important in their own right, emerged with significant impact upon the convergence of the abstracted passionate technique of Romantic artist Delacroix and the admiration of the technique by redemption-seeking poet-art critic Baudelaire (1821-1867).

 The Elan Vital and Self Evolution
The 'elan vital', or 'life force', is inside us all.
It's the vital energy which we give out as we go about our daily lives, which we expend when we think, when we work, when we use our senses to perceive what's happening around us, and which we also need to mantain the healthy functioning of our bodies.
It's very important to look at the 'elan vital' in both these areas, in connection with evolution and in connection with ourselves, because there's a very close relationship between the evolutionary process as a whole and the personal evolution which can take place in our own lives.
