| One can deliver a satire with telling force
through the insidious medium of a travesty, if he is careful not to overwhelm
the satire with the extraneous interest of the travesty, and so bury it
from the reader's sight and leave him a joked and defrauded victim, when
the honest intent was to add to either his knowledge or his wisdom. - "A Couple of Sad Experiences," Galaxy Magazine, June 1870 |
