“The poet's eye, in fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”
Theseus, Midsummer Night’s Dream
“The judgment of taste is therefore not a cognitive judgment, hence not a logical one, but is rather aesthetic, by which is understood one whose determining ground cannot be other than subjective.”
Kant, Critique of the Power of Judgment
“境非独谓景物也。喜怒哀乐,亦人心中之一境界。故能写真景物,真感情者,谓之有境界。否则谓之无境界。”
王国维《人间词话》
