Suggestive Poetry having been described, the author proceeds to describe the varieties of 'Poetry of Subordinate Suggestion'— There are eight varieties of the Poetry of Subordinate Suggestion, according as the suggested meaning is—(1) obvious, (2) subservient to something else, (3) subservient to the accom- plishment of the 'expressed' meaning, (4) abstruse, (5) of doubtful prominence (in comparison to the expressed meaning), (6) of equal importance (with the expressed meaning), (7) rendered manifest by intonation, or (8) not beautiful. Like the breasts of a young girl, suggestion has a charm only while it is concealed ; when it is not concealed, it becomes too obvious and hence as prosaic as the expressed meaning ; this is what is meant by its being 'subordinate'.
