some more sober critics come abroad? If wrong, I
smil'd; if right, I kiss'd the rod.

will say you are on the wrong road, if it is your
own.

I
consider criticism merely a preliminary excitement,
a statement of things a writer has to clear up in
his own head sometime or other, probably antecedent
to writing; of no value unless it come to fruit in
the created work later.
-- Ezra Pound

Never
criticize a man until you've walked a mile in his
moccasins.
