Detailed explanation-1: -This sense of tension was derived by Tate from two terms used in logic-extension (literal meaning) and intension (metaphorical meaning)-from which he dropped the prefixes, and it refers to a mutually dependent relationship between these different forms of meaning.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tate expounded upon many of the same themes in his criticism. Because he believed in the autonomy of art and the aesthetic formalist basis of critical analysis, he was classified among the New Critics of the mid-20th century.
Detailed explanation-3: -The essay deals with tension as the life of a poem. It reveals Tate’s view that a good poem is one in which the extension and the intension are in a state of tension. It is a combination of both extensive or denotative and intensive or connotative meanings.
Detailed explanation-4: -Cleanth Brooks’ “Language of Paradox" Paradox in poetry means that tension at the surface of a verse can lead to apparent contradictions and hypocrisies.
