"Le critique qui ne fait pas valoir un cas n'est qu'un lecteur intelligent pour lui-même, il n'est pas un critique"
— Ezra Pound
Simplified Meaning:
A critic needs to explain why they think something is good or bad; if they don't, they are just keeping their thoughts to themselves and not really being a critic.
