Сторінка 251 - The Genius of Poetry must work out its own salvation in a man: It cannot be matured by law and precept, but by sensation & watchfulness in itself. That which is creative must create itself — In Endymion...
Сторінка 251 - JS is perfectly right in regard to the slipshod Endymion. That it is so is no fault of mine. No ! though it may sound a little paradoxical. It is as good as I had power to make it— by myself.
Сторінка 247 - This may be speaking too presumptuously, and may deserve a punishment ; but no feeling man will be forward to inflict it : he will leave me alone, with the conviction that there is not a fiercer hell than the failure in a great object.
