Excerpt from Goblins and Pagodas
The object of literature is not dissimilar from these. Lit/ erature aims at releasing the emotions that arise from the formed words of a certain language. But literature is prob/ ably a less pure and hence more universal art than any I have yet examined. For it must be apparent to all minds that not only is a word a definite symbol of some fact, but also it is a thing capable of being spoken or sounded. The art of literature, then, in so far as it deals with definite state/ ments, is akin to painting or photography: in so far as it deals with sounded words, it is akin to music.
