I beg to differ.  They may be ambivalent and not apathetic.  They may be 
timid and not apathetic.  They may be bewildered and yet not be apathetic.

Mere poets are sottish as mere drunkards are, who live in a continual mist,
without seeing or judging anything clearly.  A man should be learned in
several sciences, and should have a reasonable, philosophical and in some
measure a mathematical head, to be a complete and excellent poet.
