  15. Impact for some of those who have it, that is. Only some of those who share such moments go on to pursue objects in the same aesthetic field with gusto. Robinson’s companion did not.

  17. Indeed, some aestheticians go so far as to make a certain ‘know how’ a criterion of aesthetic appreciation. ‘Appreciation starts from an expectation of value, and expectation that paying a work the right sort of attention will be worth one’s while. … The literary innocent mind will not respond at all or will respond in inadequate ways to a literary work‘. Stein Haugom Olsen, The End of Literary Theory (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1987), p. 154.
