7 P A R T I - P R E V I O U S B r a n c h V - A - E n g l i s h Paper IV - PROSE AND LITERARY CRITICISM rilile polite are always catching modish innovations, and the learned depart from established forms of speech, in hope of finding or making better; those who wish for distinction foresake the vulgar, when the vulgar is right; but there is a conversation above grossness and below refinement, where propriety resides and where this poet seems to have gathered his comic dialogue. No poet, no artist of any art, has his complete meaning alone. His significance, his appreciation is the appreciation of his relation to the dead poets and artists. The possible interests of a poet are unlimited; the more intelligent he is the more likely that he will have interests; our only condition is that he turn them into poetry, and not merely meditate on them poetically. We are nothing; less than nothing, and dreams. We are only what might have been,. and must wait upon the tedious shores of Lethe millions of ages before we have existence, and a name'. (e) Pig-Let me speak his praise- is no less provocative of the appetite, than he is satisfactor y to the criticalness of the censorious palate. The strong man may batten oil and the weakling refuseth not his mild juices. (f Truth may perhaps come to the price of a pearl, that showeth best by day; but it will not rise to the price of a diamond or carbuncle, that showeth best in varied lights. A mixture of a lie doth ever add pleasure. As fot. equivocations, or oraculous speeches, they cannot hold out long. So that no man can be secret, except he give himself a little scope of dissimulation; which is, as it were, but the skirts or train of secrecy. Young men are fitter to invent, than to judge, fitter for execution, than for counsel; and fitter for new projects, than for settled business. For the experience of age, in things that fall within the compass of it, directeth them; but in new things, abuseth them. 2. Write short notes on any FOUR of the following: (4 x 4 16) (r) Aphoristic element in Bacon's essays. Samuel Johnson's defence of tragicomedy of Shakespeare. T.S. Eliot's 'objective correlative'.
