On the Differences between Poetry and Prose

In T.E. Hulme's "On the Differences between Poetry and Prose", he delineates the difference between poetry and prose in an interesting way. He first compares Prose to Algebra and I thought it was riveting how he used that to make his point. He talks about how Algebra/Prose conveys concrete things without any imagery or visualization in the process; basically he's saying that prose really has no flavor or imagination to it. With poetry, however, he talks about how it is more flexible and has more style. He talks about how poetry appeals more to the senses, making it deliver a physical image and decorate the poem. He made very good points with the examples he used to convey them. It really makes me appreciate poetry a little more.
