"But how shall you determine whether a given book be worth reading or not?  By the testimony of your own soul.  If the book throws your whole being into the wild tumult of mingled thought and aspiration, if it lifts you till you feel, in the sweet deception of the hour, that the wings of your own spirit leave their shadows upon the star-lit heights, and you almost wonder that you yourself have allowed those grand words to remain so long unsaid, look no farther.  You have found the book you were looking for, and it bears the divine imprint of genius."
