"The functional purpose of aesthetic subjectivity is to heighten the effect by increasing the clarity and vividness of the conceptions that we seek to transmit to reader or hearer. It enables us to share with him the impressions that place or circumstance have made upon us--to bring him down to earth from the lofty observation point of the objective and make him see and feel through our eyes and feelings."
