Description
Excerpt from Hamlet, Prince of Denmark
Hence, whatever else, in a school course, a strenuous discipline 'may, for training's sake, insist on keeping hard and dry, the English literature must ever be tem pered with the warmth of liking and curiosity. The primal relation of literature to the mind is an appeal for attention, an effort to stimulate, to please. We cannot lose sight of this truth and treat poetry as if it were science, which we can absolutely withdraw from and view as an objective thing.
