1942. CRITICISM, Canons of.—
I have
always very much despised the artificial canons
of criticism. When I have read a work
in prose or poetry, or seen a painting, a
statue, &c., I have only asked myself whether
it gives me pleasure, whether it is animating,
interesting, attaching? If it is, it is good
for these reasons.—
To William Wirt.
