CRITICISM
FIRST MUSIC CRITIC--"I wasted a whole evening by going to that new
pianist's concert last night!"
SECOND MUSIC CRITIC--"Why?"
FIRST MUSIC CRITIC--"His playing was above criticism!"
As soon
Seek roses in December--ice in June,
Hope, constancy in wind, or corn in chaff;
Believe a woman or an epitaph,
Or any other thing that's false, before
You trust in critics.
--_Byron_.
It is much easier to be critical than to be correct.--_Disraeli_.
