Said the pot to die kettle, "Get away, blackface." Critics are the men who have failed in literature and art. As a bankrupt thief turns thief-taker in despair, so an unsuccessful author turns critic. What a blessed thing it is that nature, when she invented, manufactured and patented her audiors, contrived to make critics out of the chips that were left! Even the lion has to defend himself against flies. I had rather be hissed for a good verse than applauded for a bad one. Of all the cants which are canted in this canting world— though the cant of hypocrites ihay be the worst—the cant of criticism is the most tormenting. |
