The critic is he who can translate into another
manner or a new material his impression of beautiful
things.
The highest, as the lowest, form of criticism is a
mode of autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are
corrupt without being charming. This is a fault.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things
are the cultivated. For these there is hope.

oscar wilde.

i was going to include the entire preface but i found
myself disagreeing with him entirely too much. 

Our more advanced critics have interpreted American
Letters from several highly exciting angles; I read
only yesterday a magnificient statement concerning
the mean diameter of the fourth vowel sound in the
eleventh line of Greer's "Annihilated Cafe"--this, of
course, even with one reading alone, can cause the
most profound skeptic considerable pride in the
crative spirit applied sensitivly, and sacrificially,
like a lamb with a nosebleed. The young writer may
well thank his steadfast star today. I have thought
betweentimes of starting a school modeled somewhat
along the lines of a well managed nursery: certainly
there is no lack of incentive.

   Humanity is a good thing. Perhaps we can arrange
the       murd4er
   of a sizable number of people to save it.
