In the text "Beautiful objectivity" (from: Preschool of Aesthetics), Jean Paul (1763 - 1825) the different views of beauty in poetry.
On the one hand, Paul describes the poetry of the ancient Greeks and their myths and gods as a "reality of the poetry." And the "modern poet" as "poetry from reality ". This contrast is not the only one in 
the (dialectical) text, but only one of many with which Jean Paul holds the various benefits of Greek classical and romantic to today. He compares the polytheistic faith, with the dull-gleaming Saturn and its rings and moons, and will even like the hot, sun-Mercury is near.
Despite the many metaphors and paradoxical formulations can see Jean Paul's position never clear, but one believes even listen to an ironic undertone out, losing only in the different levels of rational-analytic interpretation.
is Throughout the text, the question of objectivity in poetry, and its aesthetic value never sufficiently clarified and remains one at the end, only the knowledge that all objectivity in the arts can only be subjective, and thus the whole discussion is irrelevant. But the attempt to abstract the analysis comes from Jean Paul has a certain comic alike. To this extent, - said Jean Paul - only the wit, the funny and the humor is genuinely lovely.
