naive poetry, n.All

Naive poetry (n.) springs ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠from a poet who is Nature himself, while the sentimental poet seeks her.

Naive poetry (n.) lends ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠its voice to the object: the poet does not represent Nature, Nature represents itself in him, because he is identical with it.

Naive poetry (n.) is ⁠​‌​​​‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​‌​​‌‌​‌​​‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​⁠a lucky throw: needing no improvement when it succeeds, fit for nothing when it fails — the child of life, and unto life it returns.
