Wuthering Expectations: By the dismal tarns and pools / Where dwell the Ghouls - Poe the poet
Excerpt:
Poe would print an entire poem, or a selection of stanzas, and italicize the best parts. "Best" = most beautiful, and most original. For example:

By the lakes that thus outspread
Their lone waters, lone and dead,-
Their sad waters, sad and chilly
With the snows of the lolling lily,-
By the mountains - near the river
Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,-
By the grey woods,- by the swamp
Where the toad and the newt encamp,-
By the dismal tarns and pools
Where dwell the Ghouls,-

That's from Poe's "Dream-Land," magnificent and ludicrous. The italics identify my notion of which bits are best. ..
