"Now let us try to picture the teacher's usual attitude towards these first highly influential examples of original composition. What does he hold to be most reprehensible in this class of work? NOW LET US TRY TO PICTURE THE TEACHER'S USUAL ATTITUDE TOWARD THESE FIRST HIGHLY INFLUENTIAL EXAMPLES OF ORIGINAL COMPOSITION WHAT DOES HE HOLD TO BE MOST REPREHENSIBLE IN THIS CLASS OF WORK
ensation produced by the demand for self-reliance imparts a seductive charm to these early performances, which is not only quite new, but which never returns. All the daring of nature is hauled out of its depths; all vanities--no longer constrained by mighty barriers--are allowed for the first time to assume a literary form: the young man, from that time forward, feels as if he had reached his consummation as a being not only able, but actually invited, to speak and to converse. The subject he selects obliges him either to express his judgment upon certain poetical works, to class historical persons together in a description of character, to discuss serious ethical problems quite independently, or even to turn the searchlight inwards, to throw its rays upon his own development and to make a critical report of himself: in short, a whole world of reflection is spread out before the astonished young man who, until then, had been almost unconscious, and is delivered up to him to be judged. TO CRYSTALLIZE THE STAGGERING SENSATION PRODUCED BY THE DEMAND FOR SELF RELIANCE IMPARTS A SEDUCTIVE CHARM TO THESE EARLY PERFORMANCES WHICH IS NOT ONLY QUITE NEW BUT NEVER RETURNS ALL THE DARING OF NATURE IS HAULED OUT OF ITS DEPTH ALL VANITIES NO LONGER CONSTRAINED BY MIGHTY BARRIERS ARE ALLOWED FOR THE FIRST TIME TO ASSUME A LITERARY FORM THE YOUNG MAN FROM THAT TIME FORWARD FEELS AS IF HE HAD REACHED HIS CONSUMMATION AS BEING NOT ONLY ABLE BUT ACTUALLY INVITED TO SPEAK AND TO CONVERSE THE SUBJECT HE SELECTS OBLIGES HIM EITHER TO EXPRESS HIS JUDGMENT UPON CERTAIN POETICAL WORKS TO CLASSICAL HISTORICAL PERSONS TOGETHER IN A DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTER TO DISCUSS SERIOUS ETHICAL PROBLEMS QUITE INDEPENDENTLY OR EVEN TO TURN THE SEARCHLIGHT INWARDS TO THROW ITS RAYS UPON HIS OWN DEVELOPMENT TO MAKE A CRITICAL REPORT OF HIMSELF IN SHORT A WHOLE WORLD OF REFLECTION IS SPREAD OUT BEFORE THE ASTONISHED YOUNG MAN WHO UNTIL THEN HAD BEEN ALMOST UNCONSCIOUS AND IS DELIVERED UP TO HIM TO BE JUDGED
