अंग्रेजी साहित्य

"a state of feeling is true and false, possible and impossible at the same time, or rather by turns. And the poet. . . gives one side which does not mean that he denies the obverse, or even. . . that he wishes to imply that the side he treats is the truest, or the oftener true... Things cannot and should not be lasting, for man would then be 'all of a piece' and stagnate in sentimental inactivity... If a thought has been really true for a day, its becoming false the next day does not deprive it of its claim to verity. It may have been only a passing or short-lived truth, but if intense and serious it is worthy to be received"
