In the Epic, the poet effaces himself in his work, in the Lyric he draws all things to himself, penetrates them with his feeling, and lets them issue forth again, thus subjectified; but the utterance must still be the result of the poetic and not of the prosaic outlook. The subjects for Lyric poetry are numberless, and unlimited by time or place. By the charm of expression it can give life and interest to almost anything. But the power to do this can only come from the poetic soul, able to range freely above the limitations of the prosaic life. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
