Reynolds Phrasis Informed By a Whisper - Recited

INFORMED BY A WHISPER
Enveloped in the mysterious
viewed indistinctly as through
a mist,waiting the call.The
inspiration of genius to be 
invoked by success,wild freedom 
and liberty of imagination informed 
by a whisper, unconscious of the 
operation of the mind,left as
a legacy from this tenancy of
life.To separate that which is 
true from only the plausible,
caution and circumspection is
discarded by genius and taste.

A phrasis from Joshua Reynolds discourses
*A Phrasis is a structured verse where the poet uses selected prose phrases of another writer’s(not a poet)  to compile  unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,the word phrasis is Greek for phrase.
