Passage A
How is communication actually achieved? It depends, of course, either on a common
language or on known conventions, or at least on the beginnings of these. If the common language
and the conventions exist, the contributor, for example, the creative artist, the performer, or the
reporter, tries to use them as well as he can. But often, especially with original artists and thinkers,
the problem is in one way that of creating a language, or creating a convention, or at least of
developing the language and conventions to the point where they are capable of bearing his
precise meaning. In literature, in music, in the visual arts, in the sciences, in social thinking, in
philosophy, this kind of development has occurred again and again. It often takes a long time to
get through, and for many people it will remain difficult. But we need never think that it is
impossible; creative energy is much more powerful than we sometimes suppose. While a man is
engaged in this struggle to say new things in new ways, he is usually more than ever concentrated
on the actual work, and not on its possible audience. Many artists and scientists share this
fundamental unconcern about the ways in which their work will be received. They may be glad if
it is understood and appreciated, hurt if it is not, but while the work is being done there can be no
argument. The thing has to come out as the man himself sees it.
In this sense it is true that it is the duty of society to create conditions in which such men can
live. For whatever the value of any individual contribution, the general body of work is of
immense value to everyone. But of course things are not so formal, in reality. There is not society
on the one hand and these individuals on the other. In ordinary living, and in his work, the
contributor shares in the life of his society, which often affects him both in minor ways and in
ways sometimes so deep that he is not even aware of them. His ability to make his work public
depends on the actual communication system: the language itself, or certain visual or musical or
scientific conventions, and the institutions through which the communication will be passed. The
