Excerpt from When Bards Sing Out of Tune
"And I had done a hellish thing." Coleridge.
Disgust and other things led me to write and to publish this satire. If I have spoken rudely of any person or persons it has not been without cause. As to the critics, I have stated the truth. I have as much right to put Mark Twain in satire as he has to put the religion of my friends into ridicule.
I may incur the charge of jealousy for writing a satire which has for its mark the greatest geniuses (so-called) of the age, but such was not the cause, as I never had any particular thirst for literary distinction, and what I have written has been more of a task than a pleasure, both to myself and friends.
