From this human nature with literature in a central position, we have devised our first requisite. From the essence of literature itself, we devise the second. The tendency toward a literature of humanity is a historical fact. In the process it has passed through several transformations, from a literature of many classes it has come to rest on the collective of the common people, though it has also been colored with individualism. This is a natural result of literary development and herein lies its difference from primitive literature.
Feelings come from within and are shaped through language.
I feel, in examining the development and history of ancient Greek hymn, epic, or drama, that they all belong to this type. So all primitive literature is works that express the emotions of a single collective. At that time everyone's emotion was concentrated on the single expectation of the renewal of spring. The reason for this expectation was their anxiety about the lack of life's necessities. This anxiety and expectation were felt most urgently and, as a matter of course, were expressed through words and movements.
