We Notice As The Bible

It Is Clear That All Verbal Structures With Meaning Are Verbal Imitations Of That Elusive Psychological And Physiological Process Known As Thought, A Process Stumbling Through Emotional Entanglements, Sudden Irrational Convictions, Involuntary Gleams Of Insight, Rationalized Prejudices, And Blocks Of Panic And Inertia, Finally To Reach A Completely Incommunicable Intuition.

Literature As A Whole Is Not An Aggregate Of Exhibits With Red And Blue Ribbons Attached To Them, Like A Cat-show, But The Range Of Articulate Human Imagination As It Extends From The Height Of Imaginative Heaven To The Depth Of Imaginative Hell.

Nature Is Inside Art As Its Content, Not Outside As Its Model.

The World Of Literature Is A World Where There Is No Reality Except That Of The Human Imagination.

I Soon Realized That A Student Of English Literature Who Does Not Know The Bible Does Not Understand A Good Deal Of What Is Going On In What He Reads: The Most Conscientous Student Will Be Continually Misconstruing The Implications, Even The Meaning.
