Book Review, "Table Talk" by William Hazlitt

Depth of feeling goes along with radical speech.  Hazlitt is preaching on different kinds of manners and giving them classifications toward a bitter end; however, he can be more romantic than Oscar Wilde because his context of meaning is improved on for the essays’ dramatic visuals and sounds we may imagine while reading.  Eye dialect is a constant routine to play on as such a minister-like writer like Hazlitt demonstrates his ambiguities with more of a collectivist approach- in particular, drawing wit where fouls come into motion before mentioning the windy bubble hanging in particular nostalgia.  Child in feeling, poetry in motion, great obstacles, dogmatical conversation: these are four elements to his ignition even when all odds seem to be more specialized for religious effects.  Still, there’s doubts in his mind as to what virtues we seek of since pretensions often lay down ideas which act like false friends.  Blockheads must be annoying as hell sometimes and we’re reading page after page to see picturesque verbatim, not to witness some object of refutal with hardly any originality but to dramatically understand serious implications given on troublesome poets and blind painters.  Art has indeed changed so much compared to the early 1800’s; point of fact, art is a constant engine of approved truths and Hazlitt comments on nature with concepts, ones of which breed his roughness and velocity of wit and continue to relate to Earth for religious historians, academic endeavors, complexity of goals, awkward circumstances and alluring quotes.  I’ve read his books since attending California’s state university in Sacramento.  New language gives me the feeling and I can go on for the great sum of moments toward those big reflections I’ve assumed just now within vivid reason.  So fun it is to read about the pit for actors!  Be forewarned that Shelley is downplayed, perhaps because of that poet’s dark vanity and ruined confidence, so even as Hazlitt mentions adults who fill their bellies and hurt all obstacles, remember something about religion and philosophy at the same time.  True religion always implies a philosophy of some kind; problems just occur when believers are copycats without vigor.  Do yourself a favor and consider your own manners: do you despise poetry, or theater, or acting, or authors, or painters?  If so on any, you’re likely giving a bias which adds some stain to your history of thoughts and it’s recommended you exact a sum of moments; otherwise, your weaknesses’ll control you after reality tells us something of its limited occurrences.  Let’s say Wilde has too many simple hints and doesn’t understand his own dreams, although Hazlitt is a strong factor on his stupidity when beauty is so misunderstood for Wilde’s comedic atmosphere.  Okay, maybe I’m a little annoyed.  Poetry is often a vague concept because people live with habits toward personal experiences; Hazlitt doesn’t denounce money but, rather, arrogant folks around Great Britain outside of London who linger towards money more than character.  Agreement isn’t always on my list when I sit on a divan and bring myself up to speed with English reading since a lot of ideas only exist when meanings are less understood.  Understanding, isn’t that vital?  Even if omission is a constant factor in my philosophy, what word can I use for all of my vocabulary?  Obviously, the vulgar use slang when meaning isn’t cared for by their presence, hence Hazlitt in implications pans them for lacking vigor.  After all of this “table talk”, what business is mine to judge the violating language users for lacking so much understanding while they have depth of feeling?  With conclusion, I remark on the vulgar Hazlitt criticizes and guess they act vain in religion: religion is often what they go for while philosophy is dismissed, leading to moral decay until spirits might go somewhere else.
