“Roger_Bacon" title="Roger Bacon">Roger Bacon expressed a feeling which afterwards moved many minds, when he said that if he had the power he would burn all the works of the Stagirite, since the study of them was not simply loss of time, but multiplication of ignorance. Yet in spite of this outbreak every page is studded with citations from Aristotle, of whom he everywhere speaks in the highest admiration.” IfsMindSaidFeelingsSpeakLossStudyIgnoranceHighestPagesMovedSpiteAdmirationRogerMultiplicationOutbreaksCitations Author:George Henry Lewes
“The drama is not a mere copy of nature, not a facsimile. It is the free running hand of genius, under the impression of its liveliest wit or most passionate impulses, a thousand times adorning or feeling all as it goes; and you must read it, as the healthy instinct of audiences almost always does, if the critics will let them alone, with a grain of allowance, and a tendency to go away with as much of it for use as is necessary, and the rest for the luxury of laughter, pity, or poetical admiration.” IfsDoeUseFeelingsHandsRunningAudienceGeniusHealthyDramaThousandLaughterMereInstinctCriticsPassionateWitImpressionPityTendenciesLuxuryImpulseGoing AwayAdmirationCopiesGrainAllowance Author:Leigh Hunt
