Reading

Here is a wise quote from a blog by the critic Terry Teachout,who took it from a blog called "The Reading Experience" that was quoting Marly Youmansi

. . .it is in rereading that a story or poem reveals itself—and tells us the extent of its merit. Most reviewers know only the first cursory passage through a work when they pen a review; a reader can know more. Though life is short and art long, we ought to reread often, because it is there that we “dive,” as Melville would say.
