             “The process of reading is not a half sleep, but in highest sense, an exercise, a          
                 struggle: that the reader is to do something for him or herself, must be on the alert,
                 indeed the poem, argument, history, metaphysical essay-the text furnishing the
                 hints, the clue, the start, the framework."
