PROSE.....

PROSE.

Yosh.....good day everyone and welcome back on my blog....today i am going to share about prose or we can say the definition of prose . And here I have 10  definitions of prose.
Hope this useful

1. Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
     prose = words in their best  order;–poetry = the best words in the best order

 2.  George Orwell
“One can write nothing readable unless one constantly struggles to efface one’s own personality. Good prose is like a window pane.”

 3.  E.M. Forster
“Only connect! That was the whole of her sermon. Only connect the prose and the passion, and both will be exalted, and human love will be seen at its height. Live in fragments no longer.”

 4. John Cheever
"For me, a page of good prose is where one hears the rain and the noise of battle. It has the power to give grief or universality that lends it a youthful beauty.”

5. Jeremy Bentham
“Prose is when all the lines except the last go on to the end. Poetry is when some of them fall short of it.”

 6. Governor Mario Cuomo
“You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.”

 7. John Gross
“Prose is the ordinary form of spoken or written language: it fulfills innumerable functions, and it can attain many different kinds of excellence. A well-argued legal judgment, a lucid scientific paper, a readily grasped set of technical instructions all represent triumphs of prose after their fashion. And quantity tells. Inspired prose may be as rare as great poetry–though I am inclined to doubt even that; but good prose is unquestionably far more common than good poetry. It is something you can come across every day: in a letter, in a newspaper, almost anywhere.”

 8.  Ian Robinson
     prose is "surprisingly hard to define. . . . We shall return to the sense there may be in the old joke that prose is not verse."

 9. Yury Lotman
"Prose is a later phenomenon than poetry, arising in a period of chronologically more mature esthetic consciousness ... notwithstanding its seeming simplicity and closeness to ordinary speech, prose is esthetically more complex than poetry".

 10. Jack Spicer
"Prose invents - poetry discloses"

As my conclusion.
Prose is ordinary writing that differ from verse, not have metrical structure, have no  used in daily writing and speaking.
