/ The Least Perceptive Literary Critic \
| |
| The most important critic in our field |
| of study is Lord Halifax. A most |
| individual judge of poetry, he once |
| invited Alexander Pope round to give a |
| public reading of his latest poem. |
| |
| Pope, the leading poet of his day, was |
| greatly surprised when Lord Halifax |
| stopped him four or five times and |
| said, "I beg your pardon, Mr. Pope, but |
| there is something in that passage that |
| does not quite please me." |
| |
| Pope was rendered speechless, as this |
| fine critic suggested sizeable and |
| unwise emendations to his latest |
| masterpiece. "Be so good as to mark the |
| place and consider at your leisure. I'm |
| sure you can give it a better turn." |
| |
| After the reading, a good friend of |
| Lord Halifax, a certain Dr. Garth, took |
| the stunned Pope to one side. "There is |
| no need to touch the lines," he said. |
| "All you need do is leave them just as |
| they are, call on Lord Halifax two or |
| three months hence, thank him for his |
| kind observation on those passages, and |
| then read them to him as altered. I |
| have known him much longer than you |
| have, and will be answerable for the |
| event." |
| |
| Pope took his advice, called on Lord |
| Halifax and read the poem exactly as it |
| was before. His unique critical |
| faculties had lost none of their edge. |
| "Ay", he commented, "now they are |
| perfectly right. Nothing can be |
| better." |
| |

/ "Speak, thou vast and venerable head," \
| muttered Ahab, "which, though |
| ungarnished with a beard, yet here and |
| there lookest hoary with mosses; speak, |
| mighty head, and tell us the secret |
| thing that is in thee. Of all divers, |
| thou has dived the deepest. That head |
| upon which the upper sun now gleams has |
| moved amid the world's foundations. |
| Where unrecorded names and navies rust, |
| and untold hopes and anchors rot; where |
| in her murderous hold this frigate |
| earth is ballasted with bones of |
| millions of the drowned; there, in that |
| awful water-land, there was thy most |
| familiar home. Thou hast been where |
| bell or diver never went; has slept by |
| many a sailer's side, where sleepless |
| mothers would give their lives to lay |
| them down. Thou saw'st the locked |
| lovers when leaping from their flaming |
| ship; heart to heart they sank beneath |
| the exulting wave; true to each other, |
| when heaven seemed false to them. Thou |
| saw'st the murdered mate when tossed by |
| pirates from the midnight deck; for |
| hours he fell into the deeper midnight |
| of the insatiate maw; and his murderers |
| still sailed on unharmed -- while swift |
| lightnings shivered the neighboring |
| ship that would have borne a righteous |
| husband to outstretched, longing arms. |
| O head! thou has seen enough to split |
| the planets and make an infidel of |
| Abraham, and not one syllable is |
| thine!" |
