66. "Like walking, criticism is a pretty nearly universal art; both require a constant intricate shifting and catching of balance; neither can be questioned much in process; and few perform either really well. For either a new terrain is fatiguing and awkward, and in our day most men prefer paved walks and some form of rapid transport-some easy theory or overmastering dogma." (R.P.Blackmur, "A Critic's Job of Work")

Blackmur compares walking with criticism because he considers both to be "arts" of a similar kind that call for attention to detail and utmost care.


Blackmur admits that some people do however manage to be good critics and good walkers.


Critics prefer tried and tested approaches for much the same reason as Walkers would look for paved walks and rapid transport.


Blackmur does not quite give us the equivalents of "Some paved walks and some form of rapid transport" in order to press his comparison.
