Answers
some poets considered imagination as the means through which man could know the world. With imagination you could see the essence of the things, it’s a sort of divine vision. The poet has a creative power, he is a prophet who can see the reality of things. They thoughtimagination is a supreme gift, and he used imagination as synonym of “intuition”, it is the power to see into reality. All poetry takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity and through the power of memory the emotion is reproduced in poetic form. The process of composition of a poetry is the following: The poet through sensory experience proves emotion with an object and this emotion remain in poet’s memory. Poet ,when he was in tranquility, in a state of pensive mood, remember the emotion, contemplated it by a kindred one produced by the first. Only now he can write the emotion in a poem so that even the reader can feels the same emotion.
