Definition of Critic

Cremona
Cremona
  CRITIC   noun
A person who boasts himself hard to please because nobody tries to please him.
  There is a land of pure delight,
      Beyond the Jordan's flood,
  Where saints, apparelled all in white,
      Fling back the critic's mud.

  And as he legs it through the skies,
      His pelt a sable hue,
  He sorrows sore to recognize
      The missiles that he threw.

Orrin Goof
