Define the spheres of the respective contributions of art, philosophy, and science to the search for truth. In what way is a well-imagined work of fiction more true to life than a newspaper report of actual occurrences? Explain the logical basis for distinguishing between morality and immorality in a work of art. FRANK NORRIS: "A Problem in Fiction," in "The Responsibilities of the Novelist."
Whether the works of this most original, but by no means faultless writer, were cause or effect, I know not; whether these well-imagined examples induced the ladies of that day 'to study household good; or whether the then existing ladies, by their acknowledged attention to feminine concerns, furnished Richardson with living models, I can not determine.
I suffered with courage, like an Indian at the stake, while they are rending his fibres and boring his eyes, and while he smiles applause at each well-imagined contrivance of his torturers.
The real and true test of a refined polity is not the gallows; but is to be found rather in such well-imagined insolvent laws, as discharge a maximum of debt with a minimum of assets; and rid a gentleman annually of his duns, with the smallest possible quantity of corporeal inconvenience.
His light archers were ordered to the front, and, being formed into divisions which were to act as reliefs, received orders to prevent the restoration of the ruined wall by directing an incessant storm of arrows into the gap made by the waters. But the firmness and activity of the garrison and inhabitants defeated this well-imagined proceeding.
Our friend the Conte Leandro, for instance, having determined to appear at the Circolo ball in the character of Dante which, for a poet at Ravenna, was a very proper and natural selection presented himself at the Palazzo Castelmare in that of Apollo an equally well-imagined presentation; had it not been that the happy intellectual analogy was less striking to the vulgar eye, than the remarkable exhibition of knock-knees and bow- legs resulting from the use of the "fleshings;" which constituted an indispensable portion of the god's attire.
The well-imagined opinions of the gentleman on her attire and style, made her lean to the affirmative; but Rose's demure behaviour, and something something would come across her hopes. She had, as she now said to herself, stopped for the pic-nic, mainly to give Caroline a last opportunity of binding the Duke to visit the Cogglesby saloons in London.
The Christian in the novel is the butt and laughing-stock of a proud, wilful young beauty of the name of Naomi; yet does he forsake the love of a sweet girl Lucie, to be the beaten spaniel of this Naomi. He has so little spirit as to take her money and her contempt at the same time. This self-willed and beautiful Naomi is a well-imagined character, but imperfectly developed.
"Yes," said Lothair, "you are right, my friend. A single striking incident is far from being a tale, just as one well-imagined theatrical situation is a long way from constituting a play.
Can you seriously think that because the hypothesis of your countryman Descartes, which was nothing but an ingenious, well-imagined romance, has been lately exploded, the system of Newton, which is built on experiments and geometry the two most certain methods of discovering truth will ever fail?
