في هذه المحاضرة تحدث الدكتور واصف عن قصيدة للشاعر Alexander Pope. القصيدة بعنوان: An Essay on Criticism وهذا أهم ما جاء في القصيدة:
- The main idea in this poem is that anyone who wants to be a writer needs: 1- The divine inspiration 2- The learning and training - In this poem, the poet talks about the effect of the lack of skill on both poets and critics. - He begins the poem by asking an indirect question: Where can we find the effect of the lack of skill? is it in writing poetry or in writing criticism? - The answer : the harm in writing criticism seems to be more than the harm in writing poetry. * Paraphrasing: - The first Three lines talks about the indirect question which is mentioned above - 5th: We may find few wrong poets but a large number of critics is wrong - We may find ten wrong critics to one wrong poet. Here, there is a kind of percentage. - 7th : When someone writes in a wrong way, he tries to deceive us, but in reality he is exposing his foolishness. - 8th: The same idea, We may find many wrong critics but few wrong poets. - 9th: our opinions differ a lot like the differences we find when we give the time; everyone has a different opinion. - 10th: Everyone will try to defend his own opinion as a critic - The next two lines: It is true that not all poets are gifted, but again we rarely find critics who are educated. 13ht: Both the poet and the critic must get their inspiration from god. 14th: Some people are gifted to become critics while others to become poets. 15th: Here the poet means the great writers of the past, those whom we learn from. - 16th: here there is a kind of judgment; the duty of the critic is to tell us who is the best writer. - 17th: Writers do not have the same degree of cleverness and this is a true thing. 18th: Here the poet is saying that the writer can't be the judge of his own writings. - the next two lines: here the poet is being logical, he says that these writers have the seeds of writing in their true nature. -21st: Here he says that, in spite of that, inspiration alone is not enough. - 21nd: In the case of the poet: he can (with only little effort) be able to write a poem. - the next three lines: This thing may be acceptable from the poet but it is not acceptable from the critic to write without knowledge because he may give something harmful. - the next two lines: Some writers deceive themselves by saying that they follow particular schools in order to make people feel lost. Such persons, if we apply the laws of life on them, we find them to be fools. - 28th: To prove that they are clever, they go against reason. - 29th: They write in a wrong way without applying the laws of reason to defend themselves. they defend their wrong in a wrong way. - 30th: Those who became critics consider all writers their enemies. -31st: There is a kind of envy between the poet and the critic. This enmity between the two appears like the enmity between the one who succeeds in love and the one who fails. - The next two lines: They differ in opinions. This says that he is right and the other one too, while both of them are wrong. - The next two lines: Even if someone gets the inspiration from god we will still find wrong poets and wrong critics. The inspiration alone is not enough. - 36th: Some started as critics and then turned to write poetry. - 37th: Then they returned to criticism again. They failed as critics and as poets and proved to be fools. - The next two lines: Some are bad as critics and as poets like an animal which can't be related to a specific group. It is lost between two categories. - 40th: We may find this kind of people in large numbers in England. - 41st: Here, the poet is speaking about the harm of those people. He is comparing them to harmful insects. - 42nd: The poet is saying: I have a problem in giving a name for those people. They do not have a complete thing. -43rd: If I can't call them anything, how can I name their production. - The next two lines: One proud critic may disturb hundreds of people, while one hundred writers may not cause harm to a single person. - The next three lines: If you want to give something great to deserve to be remembered for, and to earn the name of a noble critic, you should know your ability and try to acquire more knowledge. - 50th: A kind of an advice: If you don't know anything about something don't try to talk about it, but you have to be true and reasonable. - 51st: If you write without knowledge, you are moving from being a wise person to a foolish person. There is only a slight hair between the two points.
