DESCRIPTION
This essay explores the essential difference between the beauty and the interest of a work of poetic art. It argues: "The beauty of a work of art consists in the fact that it holds up a clear mirror to certain ideas inherent in the world in general; the beauty of a work of poetic art in particular is that it renders the ideas inherent in mankind, and thereby leads it to a knowledge of these ideas."
