The basic distinction between subject and content is overlooked here. To say that the subject is not in the poem but outside it seems to conflate subject and content as subject. It is more accurate, i think, to regard subject as being inside the poem and content outside it. wc
Miller says: Finally, Kivy picks up Bradley's fourth quote that "an actual poem is the succession of experiences - sounds, images,thoughts, emotions - through which we pass when we are reading as poetically as we can" -----to show that it contradicts his statement that "the subject is not as such inside the poem but outside it": "since the whole existence of the poem, on Bradley's account,is "in your head", an "imaginitive experience", a distinction between what is "in the poem" and what is not... obviously won't wash"
