Thinking activity: Coleridge's Biographia Literaria

After the discussion of Coleridge's Biographia Literaria., the students of MKBU had a task of that & gave the interpretation about that.

So here is my answer which asked in below link:http://dilipbarad.blogspot.com/2015/10/coleridge-biographia-literaria.html?m=1

Biographia Literaria by S.T Coleridge is a great literary work.
Coleridge's written critical work contained in 24 chapters of Biographia Literaria [1815-17].
In chapter XIV of Biographia Literaria, Coleridge has discussed his view of nature & function of poetry., difference between Poem & Poetry & difference between prose & poem.
Coleridge has to deal with 'persons & characters' are super natural. As we all know that Wordsworth & Coleridge are romantic poet, but we find several difference between both of them. Both of them has a different point of view about poetic diction.

1. Difference between Poem & Poetry.

Poem is a form of poetry. Poetry means to create & to make. Poetry is the art of creating a poem. Poetry is something going on in the poet's mind; how to create a poem , use of language, meter etc ...with his imagination.

Poem & Poetry are the piece of writing. Poem 8s the arrangement of words & it expresses writer's thoughts & feelings towards the readers.

Poem means within a few words we get all in the sense we can say that "થોડા મા ઝાઝુ કહૅવુ."
According to my point of view poem is shorter than poetry. It has no longer contain.
The various types of poem:
1.Narrative Poem
2.Epic Poem
3.Dramatic Poem
4.Lyric Poem
5.Sonnet
6. Ode
7.Ballad.

2. Difference between Poem & Prose.

The poem & prose has a similar elements like language, events or thoughts.
The major difference is between theirs objectives.

Prose is a work in which the events are arranged in an order and has an end. It's aim is to give information to the reader about the truth. On the other hand , poem is a piece of art in which the truth is created through imagination. It's aim is to give delight to the reader.
Prose has a simple language., While poem han an ornament language with rhyme & meter.
Well that doesn't mean that if the meter is set artificially that work becomes a poem.
