"Love is not a word but an eye water" as Emerson says. Love makes things visible to us, hatred blinds us. The artist always loves and hates with the most passionate intensity. He is clear sighted in his love, and in his hatred blind. In everything that he says in favor of other art than his own, there is sure to be much truth that we should be the better for apprehending, but his condemnations are merely a horror of darkness, of his own darkness & ignorance.
Hamilton.
