EXCELLENT WAY OF READING
Do Not Hope to Get at Authors Mean ing Without Getting at Intention
 of His Words.

When you come to a good book, you must ask yourself: Am 1 in- clined to work as an Australian miner would? Are my pickaxes and shovels in good order, and am I in good trim myself, my sleeves we'll up to the elbow, and my breath good. and my temper? And, keeping the figure 8 little longer, even at cost of tiresome- ness, for it is a thoroughly useful one, the metal you are in search of being the authors mind ana meaning, his words are as the rock which you have to crush and smelt in order to get at it. And your pickaxes are your own care, wit and learning; your smelting fur mace is your own thoughtful soul. Do not hope to get at any good authors meaning without those tools and that fire; often you will need sharpest, finest chiseling, and patientest fusing, before you can gather one grain of the metal."-John Ruskin, in Sesame and Lilies"
