Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity: the emotion is contemplated till, by a species of reaction, the tranquillity gradually disappears, and an emotion, kindred to that which was before the subject of contemplation, is gradually produced, and does itself actually exist in the mind.
詩歌是自發溢出強大的感情：它的起源從情感回憶在安寧：情感是考慮到，壹個物種的反應，安寧逐步消失，和情感，親情這之前，這是問題的沈思，正在逐步產生，而且本身實際存在的想法。
