+What is literature Science and Art as two sides where one deals with
truth, the other one with beauty.
An artist bring different things together and creates a new truth.
Beethoven in his ninth symphony uses chorus that is singing about starry heavens and was accompanied with comic march on bassoons and piccolo
Similarly, several similar or different ideas converge to give birth to a new theme where metaphors, similes, ironies and humors are born.
This exercise of fusion is a kind of artistic expression where it connects with emotion.

+ “ Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is laid out against the sky,
Like a patient etherized upon a table.”
- T. S. Eliot ( the love song of J. Alfred Prufrock)
“I wandered lonely as a cloudThat floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,Fluttering and dancing in the breeze”
- William Wordsworth (daffodils)

+Artistic Methods
Artistic methods are dictated by the sort of material used for the production of art.
Spatial methods for painting, sculpture and clay
Temporal methods for music, dance, stage performances and Literature (words)
Denotation- a meaning that a words bears in the dictionary
Connotation- a meaning that is gained due to associations with constant practical use in certain references.
Poetry was thus developed through such exploitation of words that conferred certain qualities namely-Epic, Dramatic and Lyric.

+Literature and English
English, here doesn’t indicate a geography of an European country but a Language
Literature composed in English is by writers not necessarily from England; for example, Robert Burns was Scottish, James Joyce was Irish, Joseph Conrad was born in Ukraine, Dylan Thomas was Welsh, Edgar Allan Poe was American, V.S. Naipaul was born in Trinidad, and Vladimir Nabokov was Russian, but all are considered important writers in the history of English literature.
Language is a System of sounds made by the vocal organs of a particular group of people, possessing meaning for that group and existing continuously for given period in history
