We would give anything to find the direct voices of the authors. And we would put aside, as residue without interest in the past, a document of passed fashions only, the texts of the critics.

Any judgement is always an act of injustice.
Giving judgements means emphasizing from the outside some aspects of the work, while setting apart others. Against the injustice of a judgement there is no refusal of judging, but the refusal to reach a verdict. One has to prefer a never-ending judging process that continuously considers new aspects of the work and adds references. A judgement is an analysis, where the analyzed object is considered from the analyst's own values and intentions. The analyst shows that he has a certain importance, opinion, viewpoint.
