We Find Little In A Book But

History Needs Distance, Perspective. Facts And Events Which Are Too Well Attested Cease, In Some Sort, To Be Malleable.

National Literature Begins With Fables And Ends With Novels.

Genius Begins Beautiful Works, But Only Labor Finishes Them.

Professional Critics Are Incapable Of Distinguishing And Appreciating Either Diamonds In The Rough Or Gold In Bars. They Are Traders, And In Literature Know Only The Coins That Are Current. Their Critical Lab Has Scales And Weights, But Neither Crucible Or Touchstone.

Work Like You Don't Need The Money.
