Topic: "poetic faith"

[DJ Doena]

Hi,

currently I am trying to translate this Wikipedia article to german. But I have a problem with Coleridge's quote:

yet so as to transfer from our inward nature a human interest and a semblance of truth sufficient to procure for these shadows of imagination that willing suspension of disbelief for the moment, which constitutes poetic faith.

How would you re-phrase the part of the sentence "which constitutes poetic faith"? I have no idea what "poetic faith" should be. Unfortunately it comes up again later in the "criticism of the theory".

I would translate it literally with "poetischer Glaube". Schlegel, who was well known to Coleridge, also used the term "prosaischer Unglaube" (prosaic disbelief) in his "Vorlesungen über dramatische Kunst und Literatur" (Lectures on Dramatic Art and Literature).
