4. “I curse & bless Engraving alternately, because it takes so much time & is so intractable, tho’ capable of such beauty & perfection” “For they [the designs] when Printed perfect accompany Poetical Personifications & Acts, without which Poems they never could have been Executed”

5. Every Poem must necessarily be a perfect Unity...when a work has Unity, it is as much in a Part as in the Whole “I must Create a System or be enslaved by another Man’s” Grecian is Mathematical Form:Gothic is living form, Mathematic Form is eternal in the Reasoning Memory: Living Form is Eternal Existence” Firm and determinate lineaments unbroken by shadows

6. ...not a line is drawn without intention & that most discriminate and particular. As poetry admits not a Letter that is insignificant, so Painting admits not a Grain of Sand or Blade of Grass Insignificant...
