Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Kaleidoscope: Shifting Scenes From East to West It has always appeared to me that one of the most beautiful sayings attributed to Madame de Sévigné is comprised in five French words, "Tout connu, tout sera pardonné." If it were not gilding the lily, I would add, "Tout connu, tout sera compris." They teach us a lesson valuable in all relations of life - more especially valuable in literature, where the character of a country, or of an individual, is in question - namely, that no man or woman can write a worthy criticism upon any subject with which he or she has not some strong sympathy. A rabid Evangelical clergyman might as well attempt a Life of Shelley as for any one to write upon America or our own colonies who is not conscious of some bond of attraction between himself and these countries. Mr. Froude, in his popular Occana, went to the other extreme, as many think, of fulsome flattery, and yet failed to please everybody.
