“BETWEEN EQUALS.”
“Every artistic conversation is between equals. A person gets,from another person exactly as much as he or she is natively competent to understand, and no more. You can -only tell a person what that person knows, and nearly all artistic work, and nearly all higher educational work, is an appeal to the memory of a person in order that that person may recollect something which he or she lias forgotten. Prose is unable to deal with extremes of speed. It cannot portray slow movement; and beyond a certain wavelength, as it were, it cannot portray a swift one. But the slow movement of a line of line verse is far slower than a snail’s progress; and the quick movement of a very quick line of verse is as quick as lightning. Prose cannot deal with these tilings without falling into boredom on the one hand or hysteria on the other.’ .vir. .Tames Stephen, in an address tithe English Association at Alanclicster University.
