"The critic leaves at curtain fall To find, in starting to review it, He scarcely saw the play at all For starting to review it"
- E. B. White
About this Quote
This quote by E.B. White speaks with the concept of how critics typically miss out on the essence of a play or performance since they are too focused on evaluating it. The critic is so preoccupied with dissecting the production and forming their viewpoint that they never ever totally engage with the work itself. White is suggesting that the critic's job need to not be solely about critiquing the efficiency, but likewise about experiencing it fully. By leaving at drape call to begin their evaluation, the critic never ever actually sees the play at all. It is a cautionary tale for those who review art to remember to experience it too.
