“Summe up at night what thou hast done by day; And in the morning what thou hast to do. Dresse and undresse thy soul; mark the decay And growth of it; if, with thy watch, that too Be down then winde up both; since we shall be Most surely judg'd, make thy accounts agree.” IfsSoulDoneNightGrowthWatchesMorningAccountsMarkAgreeDecaySelf-examination Book:The Poetical Works of G.

“For the judging of contemporary literature the only test is one's personal taste. If you much like a new book, you must call it literature even though you find no other soul to agree with you, and if you dislike a book you must declare that it is not literature though a million voices should shout you that you are wrong. The ultimate decision will be made by Time.” IfsShouldMadeBookSoulLiteratureVoiceDecisionMillionsJudgingTasteTestsUltimateAgreeContemporaryDislikeNew BooksContemporary LiteraturePersonal Taste Book:The March of Literature: From Confucius' Day to Our Own Source: The March of Literature: From Confucius' Day to Our Own
