1. Dialogue On Poetry And Literary Aphorisms
This book is a collection of philosophical reflections on the nature of poetry and the essence of literary creation. Through a series of aphorisms and dialogues, the work explores the concept of Romantic poetry as the ultimate form of art, emphasizing the importance of creativity, the interplay between the universal and the individual, and the role of the poet as both creator and critic. The text delves into the idea that poetry should strive for an infinite progression, always seeking to transcend the limitations of form and content, and posits that through this ongoing quest for the new and the unknown, literature can achieve a sublime expression of human thought and emotion.
