Footnote #01
Feeling and poetic diction
And this, we may remark by the way, seems to point to the true theory of poetic diction, and to suggest the true answer to as much as is erroneous of Wordsworth's celebrated doctrine on that subject. For, on the one hand, all language which is the natural expression of feeling is really poetical, and will be felt as such, apart from conventional associations; but, on the other, whenever intellectual culture has afforded a choice between several modes of expressing the same emotion, the stronger the feeling is, the more naturally and certainly will it prefer the language which is most peculiarly appropriated to itself, and kept sacred from the contact of more vulgar objects of contemplation.
