I would say, too, that the study of literature tends to give a person what I shall call depth. I use this term to mean three things: a search for the human significance of an event or state of affairs, a tendency to look at wholes rather than parts, and a tendency to respond to these events and wholes with feeling. It is the obverse of triviality, shallowness, emotional anaesthesia. I think these attributes cluster, but I have no evidence. In fact, I can only say this seems to me to follow from a wide, continuous, and properly guided exposure to literary art.
