Read the following passage and answer the questions appended
to it:-
Unquestionably a literary life is for the most part an unhappy life;
because, if you have omly talent there
are so many cares and worries incidental to the circumstance of
men of letters, as to make
life exceedingly miserable.Besides the pangs of composition, and
the continuous disappointment
which a true artist feels at his inability to reveal himself, there
is the everrecurring difficulty of gaining
the public ear. Young writers are buoyed up by the hope and the
belife that they have only
to throw that poem at the world's feet to get back in return the
laurel-crown; that they have to push that
noval into print to be acknowledged at once as a new light in literature
You can never
convince.
a young author that the editors of magazines and publishers of books
are a practical
body of men, who are by no means frantically anxious about placing
the best literature before
the public.Nay, that for the most part they are mere brokers, who
conduct their business on the hardest
lines of a Profit and loss account. But supposing your book fairly
lunches, its perils are
only
beginning. You have to run the gauntlet of the critics. A time comes
in the life of every author
when he regards critics as comical rather than formindable, and
goes his way unheeding. But there
are sensitive souls that yield under the chastisement, and perhaps
after suffering much silent torture,
abandon the profession of the pen for ever.
