Synopsis
Excerpt from The Life Work of Henri Rene Guy De Maupassant, Embracing Romance, Comedy Verse, for the First Time Complete in English
The public as a whole consists of diverse groups, whose cry to us authors is: Comfort me Amuse me, Touch me, Make me dream, Make me laugh, Make me shudder, Make me weep, Make me think. Only a few chosen spirits say to the artist: Give me something good in any shape that suits you best, according to your own tempera ment.
The artist makes the attempt; and succeeds or fails. The critic should judge the result only in rela tion to the nature of the attempt; he has no business to trouble himself about tendencies. This has been said a thousand times already; it will always bear repetition.
