According to Addison and Steele's essay in the "Spectator," No. 62, what is "wit"? How does it relate to literary creativity?

Spectator No. 62

Spectator No. 62 suggest that wit is the assembling of ideas, determining resemblance or congruity and draw a conclusion in that order. This can be closely linked with information literacy. Wit require ideas that are not too obvious to the reader and would create a surprise feeling. The reader must be delighted when reading Witty ideas in a poem.

Poet are required to mix qualities that are congruent in a single sentence so as to surprise the reader. Readers are known to pause and think about the resemblance of the ideas enshrined in one sentence. This is important in literature since reader would not only engage their eyes but also their minds. Concentration levels will be high when Wit is properly utilized.
