More from Henry James
It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.
Hawthorne (1879), Ch. I: The Early Years.- “Greville Fane”, from The Real Thing: and Other Tales (1893)
- The Tragic Muse (1890), ch. IX
We work in the dark — we do what we can — we give what we have. Our doubt is our passion and our passion is our task. The rest is the madness of art.
