The criticism which I have quoted is criticism of · Oscar Wilde

All art is immoral. . . . For emotion for the sake

The criticism which I have quoted is criticism of the highest kind. It treats the work of art simply as a starting-point for a new creation. It does not confine itself . . . to discovering the real intention of the artist and accepting that as final.
