Excerpt from The Oral Interpretation of Literature Literature is the most complicated of all forms of art. Moreover, the positive principles of a logical coherence have yet to be established. Perhaps such principles do exist. If they do, it may be that we shall never find them. In the meantime, although the tasks are not easy, the aesthetic approach is not beyond the understanding of the student. The effort to achieve such an understanding is more than worthwhile, for it will help the student to a fuller appreciation of his own real experiences. It is well for the reader to remember that, by its very nature as an art, literature will develop in him the habitude of change. The reader who explores literature will continue to search and to build. This is one of the greatest values of the art form.
