Above all, the real poet is a master of 【B17】 He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which 【B18】 their position and association can 【B19】 men to tears. We should, therefore, learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will 【B20】 our speech or writing silly and vulgar.
