**Emily Dickinson**

A Dying Tiger—moaned for Drink

A Dying Tiger—moaned for Drink—

I hunted all the Sand—

I caught the Dripping of a Rock

And bore it in my Hand—

His Mighty Balls—in death were thick—

But searching—I could see

A Vision on the Retina

Of Water—and of me—

'Twas not my blame—who sped too slow—

'Twas not his blame—who died

While I was reaching him—

But 'twas—the fact that He was dead—

**esemplastic**

Esemplastic is a qualitative adjective which the
English romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge claimed to have invented.
Despite its etymology from the Ancient Greek word πλάσσω for "to shape",
 the term was modeled on Schelling's philosophical term Ineinsbildung –
the interweaving of opposites – and implies the process of an object
being moulded into unity. Coleridge establishes a criterion for good
literature, making a distinction between the imagination and "fancy".
Whereas fancy rested on the mechanical and passive operations of one's
mind to accumulate and store data, imagination held a "mysterious power"
 to extract "hidden ideas and meaning" from such data. Thus, Coleridge
argues that good literary works employ the use of the imagination and
describes its power to "shape into one" and to "convey a new sense" as
esemplastic. He emphasizes the necessity of creating such a term as it
distinguishes the imagination as extraordinary and as "it would aid the
recollection of my meaning and prevent it being confounded with the
usual import of the word imagination (Wikipedia)
