Beauty is the sole legitimate province of the poem.

Summary

This quote argues that beauty is a fundamental quality that belongs exclusively to poetry. By emphasizing "sole legitimate province," the author suggests that poetry is the rightful and ultimate domain for capturing and expressing beauty. It implies that poetry has a unique ability to evoke aesthetic experiences, using language and imagery to create profound emotional connections. This quote may also imply that other forms of expression, such as prose or visual art, may struggle to achieve the same level of authentic and transcendent beauty that poetry can deliver.
