珍珠约翰斯坦贝克观后感合计(3)

faulkner, more than most men, was aware of human strength as well as of human weakness. he knew that the understanding and the resolution of fear are a large part of the writer"s reason for being.
this is not new. the ancient commission of the writer has not changed. he is charged with exposing our many grievous faults and failures, with dredging up to the light our dark and dangerous dreams for the purpose of improvement.
furthermore, the writer is delegated to declare and to celebrate man"s proven capacity for greatness of heart and spirit - for gallantry in defeat - for courage, compassion and love. in the endless war against weakness and despair, these are the bright rally-flags of hope and of emulation.
i hold that a writer who does not passionately believe in the perfectibility of man, has no dedication nor any membership in literature.
