The writer asks himself, 'Can I think of a plot that will parallel this? Can I take this work of literature as an example of something I might produce?' Let us, then, consider literature as a productive science.

What demon is our god? What name subsumes
That act external to our sleeping selves?
Not pleasure - it is much too broad and narrow, -
Not sex, not for the moment love, but pride,
And not in prowess, but pride undefined,
Autonomous in its unthought demands,
A bit of vanity, but mostly pride.
J. V. Cunningham
