Creativity
Creativity is a phenomenon whereby something new and somehow valuable is formed. The created item may be intangible (such as an idea, a scientific theory, a musical composition, or a joke) or a physical object (such as an invention, a literary work, or a painting).
Criticism
Criticism is the practice of judging the merits and faults of something.
English
English usually refers to:
Poetry
Poetry (the term derives from a variant of the Greek term, poiesis, "making") is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language—such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre—to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning.
Poetry
Good poetry seems so simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.
Henry David Thoreau, Journal (29 November 1841).
Poetry
Of the many definitions of poetry, the simplest is still the best: 'memorable speech'.
W. H. Auden, introduction to The Poet's Tongue (1935), p. v.
Poetry
And so no force, however great,
Can strain a cord, however fine,
Into a horizontal line
That shall be absolutely straight.
William Whewell, given as an accidental instance of metre and poetry.
