The introduction of the phrase "it is obvious" breaks the flow of this sentence from the passage. What is the effect of using this phrase in this line? However exalted a notion we would wish to cherish of the character of a Poet, it is obvious, that, while he describes and imitates passions, his situation is altogether slavish… It creates a pause that helps emphasize the writer's opinion. It introduces an unbiased opinion that is described in the paragraph. It creates a break in the sentence that separates the opinion from the evidence. It maintains the argumentative tone.
