...effect is breathtakingly beautiful and bewildering at the same time. As the viewer becomes involved with a specific passage, he feels that he is on the verge of perceiving the relationships of colors as configurations in space. Yet a concrete sense of space always eludes him, and the configurations appear only as fleeting interactions of diaphanous color-mists. This quality of continual change results from the viewer's ongoing train of association and his simultaneous and selective perception of other parts of the canvas...
With that great transition, there crept into the ideas of Americans about foreign policy something that had not been there in the earlier days: a histrionic note, a note of self-consciousness, of pretention; a desire not just to be something but to appear as something, to appear as something greater perhaps than one actually was; the desire to play a role for the sake of playing a role, and to be seen by others as playing it; a desire to compel others to associate themselves with the ritual of self-esteem and self-glorification that was now becoming...

Johnson's poem appeared as a twenty-eight page leaflet in 1749, and was the first of his published works to bear his name on the title page. Obviously he had no previous reputation as a poet, nor do most people remember him as one, though Boswell somewhere speaks of Johnson as "perpetually a poet" (a statement intended to refer to his quality of mind. The only two poems which appear to have survived...
