234 The Harmony of Virtuecharacter and work implies a certain measure of sympathy andliking; antipathy has only half sight and indifference is blind. Hencemuch false criticism misleading the public intelligence and causinga confusion in critical weights and measures, a depreciationof the literary currency from which in the case of the frank impressionistwe are safe. In more truth the historical method isuseful only with inferior writers who, not having had full powersof expression, are more interesting than their work; but evenhere it has led to that excessive and often absurd laudation ofnumberless small names in literature, many of them “discoveries”,which is the curse of latter-day criticism. The historical methodis in fact the cloven foot of Science attempting to insinuate itselfinto the fair garden of Poetry. By this I mean no disrespect toScience. The devil is a gentleman and Shakespeare himself guaranteedhis respectability; but he is more than that, he is a highlyuseful and even indispensable personage. So also is Science notonly a respectable branch of intellectual activity, — when it doesnot indulge its highly civilized propensity for cutting up live animals,— but it is also a useful and indispensable branch. Butthe devil had no business in Paradise and Science has no businessin the sphere of Poetry. The work of Science is to collectfacts and generalize from them; the smallest and meanest thingis as important to it as the highest, the weed no less than theflower and the bug that crawls and stinks no less than man whois a little lower than the angels. By introducing this method intocriticism, we are overloading ourselves with facts and stifling theliterary field with the host of all the mediocrities more or less“historically” important but at any rate deadly dull and uninspiringwho at one time or another had the misfortune to take themselvesfor literary geniuses. And just as scientific history tried tolose the individual genius into movements, so the historical methodtries to lose the individual poem in tendencies. The result isthat modern poets, instead of holding up before them as theirideal the expression of the great universal feelings and thoughtswhich sway humanity, tend more and more to express tendencies,problems, realisms, romanticisms, mysticisms and all theother local and ephemeral aberrations with which poetry hasno business whatever. It is the sign of a decadent and morbid

The Historical Method235age which is pushing itself by the mass of its own undigestedlearning into Alexandrianism and scholasticism, cutting itself offfrom the fountainheads of creation and wilfully preparing its owndecline and sterility. The age of which Callimachus and Apolloniusof Rhodes and Simonides were the Homer and the age ofwhich Tennyson is the Shakespeare and Rudyard Kipling the Miltonpresent an ominous resemblance.
