You can learn to read music
And play a Hut-Zut
If you keep your eyes open.
But not with them shut.
If you read with your eyes shut
You’re likely to find
That the place you’re going
Is far, far behind.
—Dr. Seuss

It's easy to write with your eyes closed when you farm out the work to others.

A professor of English at Yale
Was fat and unnaturally pale—He once did a pose
Without any clothes
And entitled it ‘Moby, the Whale’.—

that seems to say a lot more about the critic than it does about the critic.
