Excerpt from Interpretive Forms of Literature "The artist has done nothing till he has concealed himself. In the reading of a great poem, in the hearing of a noble oration, it is the subject of the writer and not his skill, - his passion, not his power, on which our minds are fixed. We see as he sees, but we see not him. We become part of him, feel with him, judge, behold with him, but we think of him as little as of ourselves. Do we think of Æsehylus while we wait on the silence of Cassandra, or of Shakespeare, while we listen to the wailing of Lear? Not so. The power of the masters is shown by their self-annihilation. It is commensurate with the degree in which they themselves appear not in their work." - Ruskin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
