Pagina 102 - To the members of the Gaelic league, the only body in Ireland which appears to realize the fact that Ireland has a past, has a history, has a literature, and the only body in Ireland which seeks to render the present a rational continuation of the past, I dedicate this attempt at a review of that literature which, despite its present neglected position, they feel and know to be a true possession of national importance.

I should not find it easy to define the difference satisfactorily, but Dr Wellek knows what it is and could give at least as good an account of it as I could. Philosophy, we say, is 'abstract' (thus Dr Wellek asks me to defend my position 'more abstractly'), and poetry 'concrete'.
Pagina 125 - ... likely to be guilty of such confusion. Our comparison here will not be in the least ungracious. What I do not want to do myself, or to induce any one else to do, is to exalt either literature at the expense of the other — to run down English for the sake of showing that they order these things better in France, or to point out the defects of French in order to show how great a nation we ourselves are in literature as in other things.
