First sentence: Religious sentiment to whatever forms allied is essentially poetic and constitutes the most legitimate field possible for the exploitation of poetry; because, while with things seen and temporal it has to do inferentially, but stands in direct and immediate relations only with things unseen and eternal, it neither deals with the same tame materials, nor rests on the same tame foundations, as do the practical affairs of every-day life; and this is to define the very category and sphere itself of Poetry.
