~Taste.~--Taste is the power of relishing or rejecting whatever is offered
for the entertainment of the imagination.--_Goldsmith._
There are some readers who have never read an essay on taste; and if
they take my advice they never will; for they can no more improve their
taste by so doing than they could improve their appetite or digestion by
studying a cookery-book.--_Southey._
Those internal powers, active and strong, and feelingly alive to each
fine impulse.--_Akenside._
