Learning and &quot;doctrine&quot; arise from this activity, and so the aesthetic and instructive values of poetry are inseparable.]]></dcterms:description>

In BD, lyricism is asserted by the failure of narrative to console, and individualism is undercut by recurrent verbal play on oneness and evenness--e.g., Alcyone as &quot;all-is-one,&quot; Octovyen as &quot;octo-even,&quot; and the narrator&#039;s &quot;evening&quot; sickness.
