There still remains the literature of dramatic life. I may say permanent literature, that which does not concern itself about times or places. That we have tried and here I am going to stop. When an age is evil, when one lives in a time when there is neither religion, morality, faith in the future nor belief in the past ; writing for this age, one can defy every rule, reverse all the statutes, take evil and misfortune for one's god, turn Schiller into a brigand (if by chance one happens to be S...chiller), and reply in ad- vance to men who are going to criticize you in the future: " My age was thus, I painted it as I found it. " But when we try to amuse the multitude, when we take up the pen and beat our brains, we aim to bring together in the play- house at great expense a blase and indifferent public, and there make every one endure two hours of discomfort and attention, without speak- ing to him about himself, only presenting your LITERATURE AND CRITICISM 125 caprices, and the dreams of your sleepless nights ; when an attempt is made to be artistic, properly speaking to be nothing but artistic as expressed to-day.
