Essential of Literature Thought, Feeling, Imagination and beauty are the essential ingredients of literature. Literature is one among the foremost powerful instruments for forming character. Writers teach us to understand man and know attribute. “Literature may be a record of the simplest thoughts.” - Emerson. Literature is that the artistic expression of thought which is replete with feeling and imagination. “Literature consists of all the books where moral truth and human passion are touched with a selected largeness, sanity and attraction of form.” - Lord Morley. Literature heightens our awareness of human life. Literature enables us to seem at nature with new eyes. Literature interprets with charm of language the experiences and spiritual intuitions of man. Writers teach us to understand man and know attribute. “Great literature is straightforward language charged with going to the utmost possible degree.” - Emerson. Literature could also be a record of man’s dreams and ideals, his hopes and aspirations, his failures and disappointments, his motives and passions, his experiences and observations. It appeals to the widest human interests and thus the only human emotions. It knows no nationality, nor any bounds save those of humanity. In a nutshell, thought, feeling, imagination and beauty of style and form are all equally essential to literature. Here we quote, Lowes Dickinson, “To feel, and in order to express, or at least to understand the expression of all that is lovely in Nature, of all that is poignant and sensitive in man, is to us in itself a sufficient end. A rose in a moonlight garden, the shadow of trees on the turf, almond blossom, scent of pine, the wine cup and guitar, these are the pathos of life and death- to all or any this stuff we are trained to reply , and therefore the response is what we call literature.
“Rubaiyat adalah karya yang terinspirasi oleh daya gerak sebuah puisi; bukan salinan, bukan tiruan, bukan terjemahan, bukan penyampaian ulang atas inspirasi puitik.” – Charles Eliot Norton “Sebuah peringatan bahaya atas kemegahan dan ketidakpastian takdir.” – Dee Hock “Rubaiyat adalah jalan suci bagi pikiran manusia, sebuah petualangan pikiran dan puisi yang membuat kita terhubung, secara pribadi, antara abad ke-11 Persia dan dunia modern. Imaji Rubaiyat begitu liar, berwarna, dan berkesan. Rubaiyat menjadi inspirasi bagi T.S. Eliot, Yeats, dan beberapa penyair besar lainnya.” – Robert Richardson
