71) “The
humblest craftsman over near the Aemilian school will model fingernails and
imitate waving hair in bronze; but the total work will be unhappy because he
does not know how to represent it as a unified whole. I should no more wish to
be like him, if
I desired to compose something, than to be praised for my dark hair and eyes
and yet go through life with my nose turned awry. You who write, take a subject
equal to your powers, and consider at length how much your shoulders can bear. Neither
proper words nor lucid order will be lacking to the writer who chooses a
subject within his powers. The excellence and charm of the arrangement,
I believe, consists in the ability to say only what needs to be said at the
time, deferring or omitting many points for the moment. The author of the
long-promised poem must accept and reject as he proceeds.”

72) “The ancient poets animated all sensible
objects with gods or geniuses, calling them by the names and adorning them with
the properties of woods, rivers, mountains, lakes, cities, nations, and
whatever their enlarged and numerous senses could perceive.
“And
particularly they studied the genius of each city and country, placing it under
its mental deity.
“Till
a system was formed, which some took advantage of, and enslaved the vulgar by
attempting to realize or abstract the mental deities from their objects: thus
began priesthood; choosing forms of worship from poetic tales.
“And
at length they pronounced that the gods had ordered such things.
“Thus
men forgot that all deities reside in the human breast.

73) “I had not a dispute but a disquisition with
Dilke on various subjects; several things dovetailed in my mind, and at once it
struck me what quality went to form a man of achievement especially in
literature and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously-I mean negative
capability, that
is when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without
any irritable reaching after fact and reason-Coleridge, for instance, would let
go by a fine isolated verisimilitude caught from the penetralium of mystery,
from being incapable of remaining content with half-knowledge.”

74) Well, we are all condamnes. as
Victor Hugo says: "les
hommes sont tous condamnes a mort avec des sursis indejinis ": we have an interval, and then our place knows
us no more. Some spend this interval in listlessness, some in high passions,
the wisest in art and song. For our one chance is in expanding that interval,
in getting as many pulsations as possible into the given time. High passions
give one this quickened sense of life, ecstasy and sorrow of love, political or
religious enthusiasm. or the "enthusiasm of humanity." Only, be sure
it is passion, that it does yield you this fruit of a quickened, multiplied
consciousness. Of this wisdom, the poetic passion, the desire of beauty, the
love of art for art's sake has most; for art comes to you professing frankly to
give nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for
those moments' sake.

75) Or, after dark, will dubious women come
To make their children touch a particular stone;
Pick simples for a cancer; or on some
Advised night see walking a dead one?
Power of some sort will go on
In games, in riddles, seemingly at random;
But superstition, like belief, must die,
And what remains when disbelief has gone?
