24. Negative Capability
“at once it struck me what quality went
to form a Man of Achievement,
especially in Literature, and which
Shakespeare possessed so enormously I mean Negative Capability, that is,
when a man is capable of being in
uncertainties, mysteries, doubts,
without any irritable reaching after
fact and reason.”
John Keats
