Meditation

"The necessity of imposing form of some sort
has continually led to the danger of imposing
what is essentially a false and artificial form.
Once the process of categorizing ideas is begun,
it is likely to become an end in itself
and to give rise to the subject a symmetry
that is entirely false."

---Samuel H. Monk. The Sublime: A Study of Critical Theories in XVIII-Century England. New York: Modern Language Association of America, 1935.
