Passage Reference
In an 1817 letter to his brothers, poet John Keats coined the term 'Negative Capability' to describe what he perceived as the supreme quality of literary genius: the capacity of an artist to exist 'in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.' While lesser writers succumb to the compulsion to resolve aesthetic ambiguities into didactic moral lessons or rigid philosophical systems, the truly imaginative writer embraces enigmatic contradiction, preserving the messy complexity of human emotional experience.
