"I would define, in brief, the poetry of words as the rhythmical creation of Beauty"
- Edgar Allan Poe
About this Quote
Edgar Allan Poe's quote speaks to the power of words and the charm that can be produced through them. He defines poetry as the "rhythmical creation of beauty," recommending that the mix of words and their rhythms can create something stunning. This talks to the idea that words can be used to develop something that is more than the amount of its parts. By combining words in a particular way, a poet can create something that is more than just the literal significance of the words. Instead, the words can be utilized to create something that is aesthetically pleasing and mentally effective. This is the power of poetry, and it is something that Poe clearly valued. He thought that words could be used to produce something that was lovely and significant, and this quote is a testimony to that belief.
