But in order to set the imagination to work for the accomplishment of this end, the abstract conceptions, which are the immediate material of poetry as of dry prose, must be so arranged that their spheres intersect each other in such a way that none of them can remain in its abstract universality; but, instead of it, a perceptible representative appears to the imagination; and this is always further modified by the words of the poet according to what his intention may be.
Baina hori helburuari dagokionez mugimenduan jartzeko, kontzeptu abstraktuak, zeinak poesiaren prosarik lehorrenaren material bitartegabea eta baitira, halako moldez osatu behar dira elkarrekiko, non horien esferak batabestea ebakitzen baitute, beren orokortasun abstraktuan iraun ez dezaten; baizik eta horien ordez errepresentante begiesgarri bat fantasiaren aurrean ager dadin, zeina poetaren hitzek bere asmoaren arabera modifikatzen baitute.
