Excerpt from The Choice of Books, and Other Literary Pieces It is the fashion for those who have any connection with letters to expatiate on the infinite blessings of literature, and the miraculous achievements of the press: to extol, as a gift above price, the taste for study and the love of reading. Far be it from me to gainsay the inestimable value of good books, or to discourage any man from reading the best; but I often think that we forget that other side to this glorious view of literature - the misuse of books, the debilitating waste of brain in aimless, promiscuous, vapid reading, or even, it may be, in the poisonous inhalation of mere literary garbage and bad men's worst thoughts. For what can a book be more than the man who wrote it? The brightest genius seldom puts the best of his own soul into his printed page; and some famous men have certainly put the worst of theirs.

Excerpt from book: PAST AND PRESENT. A letter to Professor Ruskin in reply to one addressed to the Writer by Mr. Buskin, published in Fors Clavigera for June 1876.] You encourage me to attempt some answer to the sentence pronounced on me by Fors in June; but I am loth to seem impatient under the rebuke of Fate, or to raise an unduteous hand against you. I cannot forget how much I owe you, and how much our age has owed you; and what we owe to those who have taught us is a debt that we never can repay, a claim that never grows stale. There are so few whose lips have been touched as it were with sacred fire, having eyes that see behind the veil, and whose ears can hear the voices to which the rest are deaf; and when the utterances of such do seem to us to wander?I will almost say to mislead? it is better to keep silence even from good words. Yet when I find you publishing to the world things about those whom I honour, very contrary as I think to the fact, I will ask you to consider your judgment again. You can yet stir men of the finer fibre, and your words from time to time make us all pause and think, as men pause when violet flashes of lightningglance across the sky. Genius, like nobility, has its duties. But to me all blackening of the human race, all outbursts against the generation and its hopes are profoundly painful, born, I should say, of unnatural self-musing and self-torture, sad as those fulminous imprecations on mankind, when Lear bows his head to the storm. I will try what I can say in mitigation of sentence pronounced by Fors on the world in general; an allocution addressed not only orli et urbi, but contra orlem et urlem, but I cannot be sure that I always understand it. Fors seems to come down from an empyrean of her own and hold converse in an airy form of speech, which we o...

Excerpt from The Choice of Books The idler books, the good book, which Milton calls an immortality rather than a life, is dead to them: it is a book sealed up and buried.
