Documentation: An Examination for Critics

In 1917, the late Clayton Hamilton proposed that the following test be administered to dramatic critics.

1.) Have you ever stood bareheaded in the nave of Amiens?
2.) Have you ever climbed to the Acropolis by moonlight?
3.) Have you ever walked with whispers into the hushed presence of the Frari Madonna of Bellini?
