>I've traveled to all sorts of woods, day and night. And I have never come across one that is the way he describes it. Maybe it's a bad translation but "how hard it is to say what that wood was, a wilderness, savage, brute, harsh and wild."
>How can a wood be savage, harsh or wild?


how aristotle writes about it:
>(1) The poet being an imitator just like the painter or other maker of likenesses, he must necessarily in all instances represent things in one or other of three aspects, either as they were or are, or as they are said or thought to be or to have been, or as they ought to be. (2) All this he does in language, with an admixture, it may be, of strange words and metaphors, as also of the various modified forms of words, since the use of these is conceded in poetry.

you can write a poem yourself, protesting against calling the woods 'brute' and 'savage'
something about how you traveled woods day and night and never seen them brute and savage but felt how they silently cried for being perceived as such because they want to be liked too :3
