Prose, aiming at a definite and concrete goal, generally suppresses everything inessential to its purpose; poetry, existing only to exhibit itself as an aesthetic object, aims only at completeness and perfection of form.”

“These South savannahs may yet prove battle-fields.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
