"I love you, but you are not serious people"

William Hazlitt wrote: "The anatomist is delighted with a coloured plate, coveying the exact appearance of the progress of certain diseases, or of the internal parts and dissections of the human body. We have known a Jennerian professor as much enraptured with a delineation of the different stages of vaccination, as a florist with a bed of tulips, or an auctioneer with a collection of Indian shells..... The learned amateur is struck with the beauty of the coats of the stomach laid bare, or contemplates with eager curiosity the transverse section of the brain... and overcomes the sense of pain and repugnance, which is the only feeling that the sight of a dead and mangled body presents to ordinary men. It is the same in art as in science."

But how should we understand this tension between ‘the beauty of the coats of the stomach’ and 'the sight of a dead and mangled body'?..... Should we practise what Hazlitt's admirer, the medical-student-turned poet John Keats, called negative capability—the capacity to be ‘in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason’?
