Coleridge Biographia literaria

          Biographia literaria includes some of the most important English writing on poetic theory. Some of it is a response to ideas of poetry advanced by his close friend and collaborator WILLIAM WORDSWORTH first in the 1800 preface to their joint publication LYRICAL BALLADSand then in the preface to wordsworth's collection poems(1815). Referring to the letter, coleridge says he wants in Biographia Literaria to make clear 'on what points I coincide with the opinions in that preface, and in what points I altogether differ. 
                   

 

Difference between poem and prose.

   

According to Coleridge 

Poem: Artificial arrangement of words prose : words in their best order.

 If talk about similarity of poem and prose the elements like language, event and thoughts are same. But difference in their object.

According to my understanding, the 

 aim of prose is to give information. On the other hand poem is work of art. Imagination we can find in both. But the imagination in poem is more important than information.

Prose has simple language on the same place poem has ornamental language. Poem has " right word at right time on right place." Without meters and Rhyme poem can also possible if it has wholeness of feeling and newness in writing. For example: The Three Oddest Words

When I pronounce the word Future,the first syllable already belongs to the past.When I pronounce the word Silence,I destroy it.When I pronounce the word Nothing,I make something no non-being can hold.
                        This poem is by wislawa  has no meter and has no rhyme then even it is a poem because the arrangements of the words are beautiful and has also he created something new with the old and familiar words. This makes it poem.

Difference between poem and poetry.

According to my understanding  poetry is activity of mind. It can be any thing. Anything that is new and come from activity of mind can consider poetry. Not only work of art consider poetry but also mathematical term can also consider as poetry because it come from activity of mind. 
            For ex : If we consider poetry as a tree we can consider poem as a branch of it.

Poetry is a Distinction resulting from the poetic genius itself, which sustains and modifies the images, thoughts, and emotions of the poet's own mind.

           Ex :Steve Jobs I phone.

      

This we consider as poetry because I phone is imagination of Steve jobs. And then added something and harmonies it. It is not only imagination but also he work on it and make it true.

Poem is merely one of the forms of poet's  expression.Poem is only imagination of post. Ordinary poet write their poem based on their primary imagination were as good extra ordinary poets write their poem based on secondary imagination. 

 In primary imagination we find poet unifying the objects with their sence. But in secondary imagination we find that with sence poet also unifying emotions and feeling.

In the poem written by Mariz we find that the words give the feelings. The one who read can connect oneself with that poem. It gives feeling to writer as well as reader. Where as I'm second poem we don't find feeling that much. But the arrangements

Of word is good. So we can say  that poem is a result of  primary imagination and another poem is a with feeling so we can say that, that poem is result of secondary imagination.
