उद्धरणों के भी, अन्य बेहतर चीज़ों की तरह, अपने दुरुपयोग होते हैं।

Quotations, like much better things, has its abuses.
उत्साह वह गुप्त और सुसंगत भावना है जो प्रतिभा की रचना के आसपास मंडराती है, और किसी पुस्तक के पाठक या किसी मूर्ति के दर्शक को सीधे उस आदर्श उपस्थिति में पहुँचा देती है जहाँ से वास्तव में उन रचनाओं की उत्पत्ति हुई थी। एक महान कृति हमेशा हमें चिंतन की स्थिति में छोड़ जाती है।
Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious spirit which hovers over the production of genius, throwing the reader of a book, or the spectator of a statue, into the very ideal presence whence these works have really originated. A great work always leaves us in a state of musing.

आत्म-प्रेम कर्म का एक सिद्धांत है; लेकिन मानव जाति के किसी भी वर्ग में प्रकृति ने जीवन और कर्म के इस सिद्धांत को इतने प्रचुर मात्रा में नहीं बाँटा है, जितना कि प्रतिभा के संवेदनशील परिवार में।
Self-love is a principle of action; but among no class of human beings has nature so profusely distributed this principle of life and action as through the whole sensitive family of genius.

ध्यान (मेडिटेशन) की कला का अभ्यास हर घंटे और हर जगह किया जा सकता है, और प्रतिभाशाली लोग अपनी सैर के दौरान, भोजन की मेज पर, और सभाओं के बीच, अपने मन की आँख को ऊपर उठाकर एक कृत्रिम एकांत बना लेते हैं; भीड़ के बीच अकेले, हंगामे के बीच शांत, और मूर्खता के बीच समझदार बने रहते हैं।
The art of meditation may be exercised at all hours, and in all places, and men of genius, in their walks, at table, and amidst assemblies, turning the eye of the the mind upwards, can form an artificial solitude; retired amidst a crowd, calm amidst distraction, and wise amidst folly.

यह सब वह मेहनत है जो कभी आँखों के सामने नहीं आती... लेकिन मूल उद्धरण के अध्याय और पृष्ठ का बहुत खुला और उदार खुलासा अक्सर उद्धृत करने वाले के वैध सम्मान के लिए हानिकारक साबित हुआ है। बाद में आने वाले लोग इसका अनुचित लाभ उठा लेते हैं; मूल उद्धरणकर्ता को कभी श्रेय नहीं दिया जाता, बल्कि उसके द्वारा खोजे गए स्रोत को उसका उत्तराधिकारी ऐसे पेश करता है मानो वह उसकी अपनी मौलिक खोज हो।
All this is labour which never meets the eye.... But too open and generous a revelation of the chapter and the page of the original quoted, has often proved detrimental to the legitimate honours of the quoter. They are unfairly appropriated by the next comer; the quoter is never quoted, but the authority he has afforded is produced by his successor with the air of an original research.

स्वर्ण ग्रंथ! सबसे अमीर खजाने, आनंददायक सुखों की वस्तुएं! तुम मेरी आँखों को आनंदित करते हो, तुम मेरे हाथ को उत्साह से पकड़ लेते हो! प्रखर बुद्धिजीवियों और विचारशील ऋषियों, वे प्रकाश जो कई युगों तक चमकते रहे! अपनी बात अपनी अंतरंग पत्तियों पर छोड़ गए, और अपनी महिमा तुम पर भरोसा करने का साहस किया; और अब प्रसिद्धि की उनकी आशा पूरी हो चुकी है, प्यारे ग्रंथो! तुमने धोखा नहीं दिया है!
Golden volumes! richest treasures, Objects of delicious pleasures! You my eyes rejoicing please, You my hand in rapture seize! Brilliant wits and musing sages, Lights who beam'd through many ages!

उद्धरण की कला के अभ्यास में उतनी सूक्ष्मता की आवश्यकता होती है जितनी वे लोग नहीं समझ सकते जो उद्धरण में एक अंश से अधिक कुछ नहीं देख सकते। जब भी किसी लेखक का मन किसी महान लेखक की पूरी प्रेरणा से सराबोर होता है, तो एक उद्धरण पूरी रचना को पूर्णता प्रदान करता है; यह निर्विवाद अधिकार के साथ उसकी भावनाओं पर मुहर लगाता है।
The art of quotation requires more delicacy in the practice than those conceive who can see nothing more in a quotation than an extract. Whenever the mind of a writer is saturated with the full inspiration of a great author, a quotation gives completeness to the whole; it seals his feelings with undisputed authority.

लेकिन वास्तव में, हम पाउंड के मुकाबले किताबों को प्राथमिकता देते हैं; और हम फ्लोरिन से ज्यादा पांडुलिपियों से प्यार करते हैं; और हम युद्ध के घोड़ों की तुलना में छोटे पर्चों को प्राथमिकता देते हैं।

एक विद्वान इतिहासकार ने एक समकालीन के बारे में मुझसे कहा कि उसने उसके शोध को अपना लिया था; वास्तव में, वह ऐसा कर सकता था, और उसे उन्हीं मूल स्रोतों का संदर्भ देने का अधिकार था; लेकिन यदि उसके पूर्ववर्ती ने उसके लिए स्रोत खोले थे, तो कृतज्ञता कोई मूक गुण नहीं है।
A learned historian declared to me of a contemporary, that the latter had appropriated his researches; he might, indeed, and he had a right to refer to the same originals; but if his predecessor had opened the sources for him, gratitude is not a silent virtue.

यह उस साहसी भावना के परिणामों में से एक है जो अब बाहर निकल रही है और अपने स्वयं के नवाचारों के लिए उग्र हो रही है। हमने न केवल प्राधिकार को खारिज कर दिया है, बल्कि अनुभव को भी त्याग दिया है; और अक्सर वह बोझहीन जहाज दसों दिशाओं में भटक रहा है, और यात्रियों को अब यह नहीं पता कि वे कहाँ जा रहे हैं। बुद्धिमानों की बुद्धिमत्ता और युगों के अनुभव को उद्धरण द्वारा सुरक्षित रखा जा सकता है।
This is one of the results of that adventurous spirit which is now stalking forth and raging for its own innovations. We have not only rejected AUTHORITY, but have also cast away EXPERIENCE; and often the unburthened vessel is driving to all points of the compass, and the passengers no longer know whither they are going. The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of ages, may be preserved by QUOTATION.

वक्ताओं की साहित्यिक चोरी वह कला, या एक सरल और सहज तरीका है, जिसे कुछ लोग अपनी या अन्य लेखकों की सभी प्रकार की भाषणों को अपनी सुविधानुसार या उपयोगिता के लिए इस तरह बदलने या छिपाने के लिए चतुराई से उपयोग करते हैं कि लेखक स्वयं के लिए भी अपनी कृति, अपनी प्रतिभा और अपनी शैली को पहचानना असंभव हो जाता है, क्योंकि पूरी रचना को इतनी कुशलता से छिपाया गया होता है।
The Plagiarism of orators is the art, or an ingenious and easy mode, which some adroitly employ to change, or disguise, all sorts of speeches of their own composition, or that of other authors, for their pleasure, or their utility; in such a manner that it becomes impossible even for the author himself to recognise his own work, his own genius, and his own style, so skilfully shall the whole be disguised.

उद्धरण, कई बेहतर चीज़ों की तरह, अपनी बुराइयों के साथ आता है। कोई तब तक उद्धरण दे सकता है जब तक वह केवल संकलनकर्ता न बन जाए। प्राचीन वकील अदालत में तब तक उद्धरण देते थे जब तक कि उनका अपना मामला ठप नहीं हो जाता था।

शैली! शैली! अरे, सभी लेखक आपको बताएंगे कि यह वास्तव में वही चीज़ है जिसे सबसे कम बदला जा सकता है। किसी व्यक्ति की शैली उसके रूप-रंग, उसके आकार, उसकी नाड़ी के स्पंदन की तरह लगभग उसका उतना ही हिस्सा है - संक्षेप में, उसके अस्तित्व के किसी भी अन्य हिस्से की तरह जो कम से कम इच्छाशक्ति की क्रिया के अधीन है।
Style! style! why, all writers will tell you that it is the very thing which can least of all be changed. A man's style is nearly as much a part of him as his physiognomy, his figure, the throbbing of this pulse,--in short, as any part of his being is at least subjected to the action of the will.

अच्छी रुचि वाला एक सुपाठ्य लेखक वह है जिसे अन्य पुरुषों की बुद्धि पर अधिकार होता है; वह वहाँ खोज करता है जहाँ ज्ञान मिल सकता है; और यद्यपि वह स्वयं आविष्कार में उत्कृष्टता प्राप्त न कर सके, फिर भी उसकी चतुराई साहित्य की उन सुखद पुस्तकों में से एक की रचना कर सकती है, जो उसके अपने दिन के धूमकेतुओं से भी अधिक समय तक टिकेंगी।
A well-read writer, with good taste, is one who has the command of the wit of other men; he searches where knowledge is to be found; and though he may not himself excel in invention, his ingenuity may compose one of those agreeable books, the deliciæ of literature, that will out-last the fading meteors of his day.

आमतौर पर यह माना जाता है कि जहाँ कोई उद्धरण नहीं होता, वहीं सबसे अधिक मौलिकता पाई जाएगी; और चूंकि लोग अपनी धारणा के अनुसार अपना पैसा खर्च करना पसंद करते हैं, इसलिए हमारे लेखक आमतौर पर अपनी ही मिट्टी की उपज से अपने पृष्ठों को जल्दी से सजा लेते हैं: वे एक त्वरित बाड़ लगाते हैं, या एक पॉपुलर का पेड़ लगाते हैं, और इस तरह के पेड़ और बाड़ पुराने जमींदारों द्वारा अपनी लकड़ी प्राप्त करने की तुलना में बहुत तेजी से पा लेते हैं। परिणामस्वरूप, हमारे अधिकांश लेखक इतने मौलिक हो गए हैं कि कोई भी उनकी नकल करना नहीं चाहता, और जो लोग कभी उद्धरण नहीं देते, उन्हें बदले में कभी उद्धृत नहीं किया जाता!
It is generally supposed that where there is no QUOTATION, there will be found most originality; and as people like to lay out their money according to their notions, our writers usually furnish their pages rapidly with the productions of their own soil: they run up a quickset hedge, or plant a poplar, and get trees and hedges of this fashion much faster than the former landlords procured their timber. The greater part of our writers, in consequence, have become so original, that no one cares to imitate them; and those who never quote, in return are never quoted!

ऐसे लोग हमेशा उन लेखकों को नहीं समझते जिनके नाम उनके बंजर पृष्ठों की शोभा बढ़ाते हैं, और जिन्हें तीसरे या तीसवें हाथ से लिया जाता है। जो लोग ऐसे झूठे उद्धरणकर्ताओं पर भरोसा करते हैं, वे अक्सर जानेंगे कि यह प्रेषण मूल के अर्थ और अनुप्रयोग के विपरीत है। हर प्रतिरोपण ने पेड़ के फल को बदल दिया है; हर नई धारा ने उद्गम से दूर होने पर पानी की गुणवत्ता को बदल दिया है।
Such do not always understand the authors whose names adorn their barren pages, and which are taken, too, from the third or the thirtieth hand. Those who trust to such false quoters will often learn how contrary this transmission is to the sense and application of the original.

बायेल ने "धूमकेतु" पर लिखते समय इसकी खोज की थी; क्योंकि अपने काम के लिए लागू कई चीजों को इकट्ठा करने के बाद, जैसा कि वे कुछ आधुनिक लेखकों में उद्धृत थीं, जब वह उनकी मूल प्रतियों से तुलना करने आए, तो यह जानकर हैरान रह गए कि वे उनके काम की नहीं थीं! मूल प्रतियों ने उन तथाकथित उद्धरणकर्ताओं के बिल्कुल विपरीत अर्थ व्यक्त किया, जिन्होंने अक्सर मासूमियत से की गई गलतियों से, और कभी-कभी जानबूझकर किए गए धोखे से, अपने उद्धरणों को गलत साबित कर दिया था। यह दूसरे हाथ के स्रोतों पर निर्भर रहने वालों के लिए एक उपयोगी कहानी है!
Bayle, when writing on "Comets," discovered this; for having collected many things applicable to his work, as they stood quoted in some modern writers, when he came to compare them with their originals, he was surprised to find that they were nothing for his purpose! the originals conveyed a quite contrary sense to that of the pretended quoters, who often, from innocent blundering, and sometimes from purposed deception, had falsified their quotations. This is an useful story for second-hand authorities!

The golden hour of invention must terminate like other hours, and when the man of genius returns to the cares, the duties, the vexations, and the amusements of life, his companions behold him as one of themselves - the creature of habits and infirmities.

प्रतिभा के सिद्धांत हमारे अपने दार्शनिक समय की विशिष्ट रचनाएँ हैं; प्रतिभा के युग बीत चुके थे, और वे अपने कार्यों के अलावा कोई अन्य रिकॉर्ड नहीं छोड़ गए थे; किसी पूर्व-नियोजित सिद्धांत ने कल्पना के कामकाज को बिना कल्पना के नहीं बताया, और न ही उन्होंने यह सिखाने का साहस किया कि आविष्कार का आविष्कार कैसे किया जाए।||

कवि को दुनिया की समझ और कलात्मक अध्ययन दोनों से ही सँवरना चाहिए; उसके लिए मेहनत ही सहजता हो, परिष्करण ही एक विज्ञान हो, और कला ही उसकी प्रकृति बन जाए।
