Poetry, "the emotional content of literature" Prose, "the factual content of literature",

OK, where's the emotion? Merely observation doesn't get it, poetry is the emotional reaction to observation, or facts, not those observations or facts. It's how we react to things, not the things themselves that makes poetry poetry.
