Pàgina 309 - The reason is, we must first believe, before we can be affected. But the case is different with the more sublime and creative poetry. This species, addressing itself solely or principally to the imagination (a young and credulous faculty, which loves to admire and to be deceived...
Pàgina 310 - The tales of faery are exploded, as fantastic and incredible.
