Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Note-Book of an English Opium-Eater, and Miscellaneous Essays It is impossible to conciliate readers of so saturnine and gloomy a class, that they cannot enter with genial sympathy into any gaiety whatever, but, least of all, when the gaiety trespasses a little into the province of the extravagant. In such a case, not to sympathize is not to understand; and the playfulness, which is not relished, becomes flat and insipid, or absolutely without meaning. Fortunately, after all such churls have withdrawn from my audience in high displeasure, there remains a large majority who are loud in acknowledging the amusement which they have derived from a former paper of mine, ´On Murder considered as one of the Fine Arts;´ at the same time proving the sincerity of their praise by one hesitating expression of censure.
