Poetic Diction: A Study in Meaning Paperback - 1984 - 3rd Edition
by Owen Barfield; Howard Nemerov (Other)
From the rear cover
'Poetic Diction' it has been valued not only as a secret book, but nearly as a sacred one; with a certain sense that its teaching was quite properly esoteric, not as the possession of few snobs but as something that would easily fail of being understood by even the most learned of those jugheads whose mouths continually pour forth but whose ears will serve only for carrying purposes.

Description:
Wesleyan University Press, December 1984. Paper Back. New. 'Only by imagination can the world be known,' writes Owen Barfield. 'And what is needed is.that the human mind should become increasingly aware of its own creative activity.'
