"Poetry should surprise by a fine excess and not Singularity - it should strike the Reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts, and appear almost a Remembrance . . . Its touches of Beauty should never be half way, thereby making the reader breathless instead of content: the rise, the progress, the setting of imagery should, like the Sun, come naturally to him." John Keats {1795-1821} Letter to John Taylor, February 27, 1818
