Poetry befriends and binds with unseverable ties the hearts of all those who love it. Even though in their own lives they may pursue the most diverse ends, may feel contempt for what the other holds most sacred, may fail to appreciate or to communicate with one another, and remain in all the other realms strangers forever; in poetry through a higher magic power, they are united and at peace. Each Muse seeks and finds another, and all streams of poetry flow together into the one vast sea.

Friedrich Schlegel, Dialogue on poetry and literary aphorisms
