while tiger shooting. 1t was night In
the mess and the colonel, as was his

Poetic Interpretation-

Poetry interprets in two ways: 1t
interprets by expressing with magical
felicity the physiognomy and move
ment of the outer world, and 1t inter-
prets by expressing. with inspired con-
vlction, the Ideas and laws of the in
ward world of mans moral and spir-
itual nature. In other words. poetry
is interpretative both by having nat
ural magic in 1t, and by having moral
fundity.-Matthew Arnold.
