"The distinction between historian and poet is not in the o
writing prose and the other verse . . .the one describes the
thing that has been, and the other a kind of thing that migh
be. Hence poetry is something more philosophic and of
graver import than history, since its statements are of the
nature rather of universals, whereas those of history are
singulars."
Aristotle
