He is convinced that the public, far from sympathizing with such courage, deliberately tries to drive the poet to desperation. Josephine Preston Peabody makes Marlowe inveigh against the public, In the same spirit Richard Le Gallienne, in lines On the Morals of Poets, warns their detractor, Bigot, one folly of the man you flout Is more to God than thy lean life is whole.
But when you leave the exercise of their craft to contemplate their character with a larger eye, it is the woman who at every point has the advantage. The suppression of sex was in itself an unparalleled triumph, and the most envious detractor could not but marvel at the domination of her womanhood. Moreover, she shone in a gayer, more splendid epoch.
Although a refuted detractor is not formidable in the flesh, the evil that he does lives after him. Freeman's view of Froude is not now held by any one whose opinion counts; yet still there seems to rise, as from a brazen head of Ananias, dismal and monotonous chaunt, "He was careless of the truth, he did not make history the business of his life."
Thou art cruel and mean and being thyself unforgiving, thou art a detractor of one that is forgiving. I can slay a hundred persons like thee, but I forgive thee in consequence of my forgiving disposition, owing to the exigency of the times. Thou art of sinful deeds. Like a fool thou hast, for the sake of Pandu's son, rebuked me and told me many disagreeable things.
"I am waiting." "Then pledge me your word of honor no word of what I now say to the disadvantage of poor Mr. Talboys shall ever reach him." "You may take your oath of that." "Then he is a detractor, a character I despise." "Who does he detract from? I never heard him." "From all his superiors in other words, from everybody he meets. Did you ever know him fail to sneer at Mr. Hardie?"
Dick was eyeing his other detractor. "You, Mr. Dennison," continued Prescott, "are a dirty scandal-monger, a back-biter and a source of danger to the honor of the cadet corps!" "Let go of me!" roared Dennison, as two men held him. "Let me at that " "Any name that you would see fit to call me, Dennison, wouldn't sting," retorted Dick.
I regret that his noble biographer, than whom no one can more truly sympathise with the emotions of genius, has censured the bard for his querulous or his intrepid tone, and for the quaint conceit of his title-page, where his detractor is introduced as a beetle in a vega or garden, attacking its flowers, but expiring in the very sweetness he would injure.
It would have been too cruel for me to have learnt with certainty that he whom I regarded as the first writer of the age had become my detractor without motive, without provocation. That it is not so I give thanks to Providence. "M. the duc d'Aiguillon did not deceive you when he told you that I fed on your sublime poetry.
And I don't blame 'em to any great extent." "Nor I, either," agreed the Cap'n with a readiness that surprised Mr. Nute. "A town that doesn't pay its bills ought to be ashamed of itself." The constable backed away a few steps and stared at this amazing detractor. "I paid bills prompt and honest just as long as there was any money to pay 'em with," the Cap'n went on.
