Summary

This quote suggests that Canadaâ€™s multiculturalism is not based on assimilation, but rather on the idea of different cultures coexisting and contributing to the overall diversity of the nation. Unlike a melting pot, where various cultures blend together to form a homogenous outcome, Canada embraces and celebrates its multicultural identity, allowing each culture to retain its unique characteristics and flavors, much like the ingredients in a tossed salad. This metaphor emphasizes the importance of diversity, acceptance, and unity within Canadian society.

But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift

But this I know; the writer who possesses the creative gift owns something of which he is not always master -- something that at times strangely wills and works for itself.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity: the emotion is contemplated till, by a species of reaction, the tranquillity gradually disappears, and an emotion, kindred to that which was the subject of contemplation, is gradually produced, and does itself actually exist in the mind.

Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lap

Beauty is always the result of an accident. Of a violent lapse between acquired habits and those yet to be acquired. It baffles and disgusts. It may even horrify. Once the new habit has been acquired, the accident ceases to be an accident. It becomes classical and loses its shock value.
