Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Studies and Appreciations One must always, it seems, look back upon one´s work with a curious mixture of hostility and clandestine affection. Particularly is this the case when, as in these random studies, it has been done within a limited space, having in mind some or other definite end that was to be served. Everything is conditioned by the aim it serves, a fact that literary criticism is too often pleased to forget; but when, as in the case of these studies, that aim is definite and articulate, it is inevitable that one´s afterthoughts should be prolific of qualifications of the statements made, and adjustments of the points of view taken. Speech is the noblest attribute of man; yet it is a humiliating consideration that even in so noble a function it is impossible for him to arrive at truth. Every statement is a lie, for every statement is a preclusion. Yet the colourless balance between two emphases is a deeper kind of a lie still, for it says nothing when perhaps something should be said. It adds cowardice to falsehood.
