Louisa May Alcott…wisely mingled poetry and prose.
About This Quote
When people read poetry they are often able to see the beauty of the language. When people read prose they are often able to visualize what is happening. There is a reason that the poet W. H. Auden was called “one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century.” He was able to use the power of both poetry and prose to create powerfully moving works that reached their audience on an emotional level that few other poets could hope to match.
