"Aesthetic Poetry" by Walter Pater is an essay that observes the world of aestheticism in poetry during the late 1800s. The essay talks about how this type of poetry, full of idealized experiences and emotional, sensory details, differs from poetry that came before it by combining Greek, medieval, and modern ideas. The author talks about the connection of love and beauty within the poems by looking at the works and themes of poets like William Morris. It also discusses the short nature of how brief life really is. Aesthetic poetry is described as a way to show deeper emotional and artistic desires while contrasting with regular difficulties in life. It's a way to understand poetry in order to elevate feelings and sensory experience.
