5 There is in one view a still closer connection between genius and taste. A genius for the fine arts implies, at least, sensibility and delicacy of taste, as an essential part of it. By means of this, every form strikes a man of true genius so forcibly, as perfectly to enrapture and engage him, and he selects the circumstances proper for characterizing it, and impresses them upon others, with the same vivacity that he apprehends that he apprehends them himself. See this elegantly explained in A discourse on poetical imitation, § I.
