Further, genius consists in the working of the free intellect., and as a consequence the productions of genius serve no useful purpose. The work of genius may be music, philosophy, painting, or poetry it is nothing for use or profit. To be useless and unprofitable is one of the characteristics of genius it is their patent of nobility.
