Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility.Homo faber. Man is born to make. His business is to construct: to plan: to carry out the plan: to fit together, and to produce a finished thing.That human art in which it is most difficult to achieve this end (and in which it is far easier to neglect it than in any other) is the art of writing.Yet this much is certain, that unconstructed writing is at once worthless and ephemeral: and nearly the whole of our modern English writing is unconstructed.The matter of survival is perhaps not the most important, though it is a test of a kind, and it is a test which every serious writer feels most intimately.The essential is the matter of excellence: that a piece of work should achieve its end.But in either character, the character of survival or the character of intrinsic excellence, construction deliberate and successful is the fundamental condition.It may be objected that the mass of writing must in any age neglect construction.We write to establish a record for a few days: or to send a thousand unimportant messages: or to express for others or for ourselves something very vague and perhaps very weak in the way of emotion, which does not demand construction and at any rate cannot command it.; PDF; Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror > Fantasy, Forgotten Books<
