Summary

This quote suggests that good criticism should be approached and evaluated in the same way as art. Unlike studying history or science that often involves absorbing factual information, criticism should not be simply read for empirical insights. Instead, it implies that criticism should be appreciated for its artistic nature, examining the thoughtfulness, depth, and creativity of the critique itself. In this context, the quote urges individuals to adopt a more subjective and interpretive mindset when engaging with criticism, akin to the way art is experienced and analyzed.

New Domestic Animals. I want to have my lion and my eagle about me, that I may always have hints and premonitions concerning the amount of my strength or weakness. Must I look down on them today, and be afraid of them? And will the hour come once more when they will look up to me, and tremble?
