27194But what is the poor seeker after art to do?
27194But what of new significance, energy, life, has this work to express to me?
27194But who shall say that, seen in the fastnesses of his native rivers, he is not the beautiful perfect fulfilling of nature''s harmony?
27194Can it be that the painter has seen a new wonder in nature, a new significance in human life?
27194For after all, what is the reality?
27194Is it a fair test?
27194The appreciator need simply ask himself,"What has this work to reveal to me of beauty that I have not perceived for myself?
27194The appreciator need simply ask, What is the beauty, what the idea, which the artist is striving to reveal by these symbols of color and form?
27194What is the meaning of all this striving after expression?
27194What lover of beauty is not ever awake to the revelation of new beauty?
27194What man is wholly indifferent to the display of human skill?
27194What was the aim of these men who have left their record here?
27194What was their moving impulse?
27194Whence comes this beauty, this strength, this graciousness?
27194Who is there without his store of pleasurable associations, who is not stirred by any call which rouses them into play?
27194Why, why does the human spirit seek to manifest itself in forms which we call beautiful?

46330In presence of such a demand we are at once met by the question,"Whence do we get this conception?"

1617897 THE ARTIST AND THE TRADESMAN 110 PROFESSIONALISM IN ART 120 WASTE OR CREATION?
16178Are we humbled enough to listen to the wisdom of the ages, which tells us that we can be wise only if we listen for a wisdom that is not ours?
16178Are we, with our money, forcing him to work that is for him worth doing; are we, to use an old phrase, considering the good of his soul?
16178But will they learn from their sufferings, shall we all learn, that doing is not everything?
16178Does an Academician value the criticism of a Vorticist, or_ vice versa_?
16178Each is a heretic with some truth in his heresy; what is the true doctrine?
16178He would say to himself, not How can I protect myself with this against the tyranny of the struggle for life?
16178How are we to get rid of this distinction we have made between the artist and the tradesman?
16178How are we to recover for the artist the virtues of the craftsman and for the craftsman the virtues of the artist?
16178How otherwise can we explain the passion for superfluous machine- made ornament which makes our respectable homes so hideous?
16178If no one prized art, why should sham art have come into existence?
16178Is this a platitude?
16178O mighty process, what talent can avail to penetrate a nature such as thine?
16178Process or Person?
16178Rather he seems to cry, like Poe, of everything that he draws-- O God, can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?
16178Still, the question remains, How is the artist to be recognized?
16178The Venetians have done this much better, we think; and why, if Poussin was going to paint like Titian, did he not use Titian''s colour?
16178The question is, Was it painted by Romney?
16178There is a riddle-- When is an artist not an artist?
16178Waste or Creation?
16178What can they know about Greek sculpture if their own drawing- rooms are hideous?
16178What did he do in thought compared with St. Thomas, or in art compared with the builders of Chartres or Bourges?
16178What is the difference, as of different worlds, between Rubens at his best and Tintoret at his best?
16178What tongue will it be that can unfold so great a wonder?
16178Who would believe that so small a space could contain the images of all the universe?
16178Why adorned with wreaths of myrtle?
16178but What can I do with this?
16178not How can I invest this?
58981But compared with ourselves, has our course also been progressive?
58981But how does this accord with fact and with usefulness?
58981Does not this establish the existence of taste coeval with the earliest traces of information?
58981Has not the pencil''ample verge''and''room''appropriate?
58981Here, however, it may be asked, how far has prescription the power to determine this matter?
58981How, then, are facts seemingly so discordant to be reconciled?
58981Is it, then, the fate of the human spirit, like human institutions, to fall away immediately on attaining a degree of perfection?
58981Shall we say with some, that to decide on the relations of truth and falsehood, is the sole province of the judgment or understanding?
58981Since Zion''s desolation, when that He Forsook his former city, what could be Of earthly structures, in his honor piled, Of a sublimer aspect?
58981The subjects of discussion here involve two questions-- first, Whence and by whom this style was introduced?
58981What then constitutes the essential difference between the beautiful in general language, and the beautiful in the fine arts?
58981or, which is identical, the difference between the powers of judgment and of taste?

38500Hail MaryLuke 1:28 TITIAN"Blessed art thou among women"Luke 1:28 HOFMANN"Thou hast found favor with God"Luke 1:28 RENI"How shall this be?"
38500If a woman lose a coin, does she not light a candle and search carefully until she finds it?
38500Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? 38500 14:30 SCHWARTZWherefore didst thou doubt?"
38500Do they help?
38500Does Mary seem already to behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world?
38500If God so clothe the grass of the field, shall he not much more clothe you?
38500It is the moment described in Luke 2:48, when his mother speaks to Jesus,"Son, why hast thou dealt thus with us?"
38500Jesus, awakened from a sound sleep, says calmly,"Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?"
38500Some of the disciples wonder( John 13:22), some ask,"Is it I?"
38500The Master seems to be saying,"Have ye not read what David did when he was an hungered, and they that were with him?
38500The moment is that when Jesus says,"If I have told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?"
38500The perpetual questions should be, What do you see?
38500The picture shows also, without doubt, the influence of the well- known hymn, by Mrs. Stowe,"Knocking, knocking, who is there?"
38500The speaker is asking,"Was not the Christ bound to undergo all this before entering upon his glory?"
38500The sphinx riddle was"What is man?"
38500What does it contribute to the total content of the picture?
38500What does it mean?
38500What does the picture as a whole have to say?
38500What is that for?
38500Which artist has told the story most simply and directly?
38500Which has embodied more perfectly the first, or the second, or the third?
38500Which has introduced elements of his own?
38500Which has, on the whole, told the story most vividly?
38500Which most beautifully?
38500Why is that here?
38500Why?
38500Why?
38500_ Baroccio, Plate 5,_ seems to have seized upon the moment when Mary has just asked"How shall this be?"
38500_ Hunt, Plate 40_, has invented an occasion to emphasize the prophetic words often applied to Mary,"Is any sorrow like unto my sorrow?"
47610Again, why should there not have been a Homer as there was a Dante, in lieu of an aggregation of men?
47610And why?
47610But if industry carried them thus far, may not you also hope for the same reward from the same labour?
47610From whence does this proceed?
47610If it is asked, how is more skill acquired by the observation of greater numbers?
47610Is not art, he may say, an imitation of nature?
47610It seems as if Shakespeare asked himself, What is a prince likely to say to his attendants on such an occasion?
47610Must he not, therefore, who imitates her with the greatest fidelity be the best artist?
47610On whom, then, can he rely, or who shall show him the path that leads to excellence?
47610Sir Joshua Reynolds-- to whom is the name unfamiliar?
47610That novelty is a very sufficient reason why we should admire is not denied; but because it is uncommon, is it therefore beautiful?
47610Variety and intricacy is a beauty and excellence in every other of the arts which address the imagination: and why not in Architecture?
47610What has reasoning to do with the art of painting?"
47610What is there in this fragment that produces this effect, but the perfection of this science of abstract form?
47610Who can read, for instance, without a smile, the words of Blake, that sweet, childlike mind, which was at once so penetrative and so uncritical?
47610With what additional superiority, then, will the same artist appear when he has the power of selecting his materials as well as elevating his style?
47610to whom, hearing it, does not appear in mental vision the equally familiar autograph portrait of the deaf artist?

18383''How?''

18383But how can I help you in the matter, seeing that the work is not mine?
18383But who can any longer consider these as wonders, after having seen so many in Rome?
18383I asked one of the soldiers what they were there for?
18383Milizia says of Theodoric,"Is this the language of a Gothic barbarian, the destroyer of good taste?

18383What were the Greeks then doing?"
18383What would the ancients say, could they see our modern imitations of their labyrinths?
18383Which are the most profane-- these pictures, or the Venus Anadyomene of Apelles, the Venus of Titian, and the Leda of Correggio?
18383and are these the barbarians said to have been the destroyers of the beautiful monuments of antiquity?
18383and if Filippo be ill, is that his fault?''
18383and what dost thou mean us to have for dinner, since thou hast overturned everything?''
18383do n''t you see that to create form and relief on a flat surface, is a greater labor than to fashion one shape into another?"
18383eh?
18383eh?''
18383is not Lorenzo there?
18383said one of them,''do you not know what his intentions are?''
18383why does not he do something?
18383why wilt thou not speak?"
17244Qu''est que ça me fait si elle suait sous les bras, ou au milieu du dos?
17244Are we never to have your skill, your observation, your amassing of"documents"turned to any account?
17244But,_ Can_ they be successful if the accepted masterpieces of modern sculpture are not to be set down as insipid?
17244Can anyone doubt it who sees an exhibition of their works?
17244Does nature look like this?
17244How many foreigners know that he painted what are called architectural subjects delightfully, and even_ genre_ with zest?
17244III What do we mean by style?
17244In the event of such an irruption, would there be any torsos left from which future Poussins could learn all they should know of the human form?
17244Indeed one is tempted often to inquire of the latter, Why so much interest in what apparently seems to you of so little import?
17244Is it caution or perversity?
17244Is not sympathy with what is modern, instant, actual, and apposite a fair parallel of patriotism?
17244Is the absolute value of the parts in shadow lowered or raised?
17244Is there more individuality in a thirteenth- century grotesque than in the"Faun"of the Capitol?
17244It was felicitously of him, rather than of Dupré or Corot, that the naif peasant inquired,"Why do you paint the tree; the tree is there, is it not?"
17244The first thought is not, Are the"Saint Jean"and the"Bourgeois de Calais"successful works of art?
17244What does a canvas of Claude Monet show in this respect?
17244What has been gained?
17244What is the effect where considerable portions of the scene are suddenly thrown into marked shadow, as well as others illuminated with intense light?
17244What was he thinking of?
17244Where is the realistic tragedy, comedy, epic, composition of any sort?
17244Wherein does the charm consist?
17244Who knows?
17244Why is he so obviously great as well as so obviously extraordinary?
17244Why should not one feel the same quick interest, the same instinctive pride in his time as in his country?
17244Why?
17244Will it?
17244Would there be any_ disjecta membra_ from which skilled anatomists could reconstruct the lost_ ensemble_, or at any rate make a shrewd guess at it?

12045A series of her mural decorations was exhibited in various German cities, and finally shown at the Paris Exposition of 1890(?
12045Among the latter are"What Will Become of the Child?"
12045An amphora decorated with landscape and figures was exhibited at the Promotrice in Florence in 1889(?)
12045At Milan, 1886, her"Will He Arrive?"
12045Because the artist was a foreigner?
12045Can one doubt that such a Museum must be an element of artistic development in those who are in contact with it?
12045Did not women paint those pictures of Isis-- goddess of Sothis-- that are like precursors of the pictures of the Immaculate Conception?
12045Does this mean that she had been ungenerous in depriving him of the privilege of asking for what she so freely bestowed?
12045Have I achieved a success, in the true, serious meaning of the word?
12045How pathetic her written words:"I have spent six years, working ten hours a day, to gain what?
12045In 1895 she settled in Berlin, where she has made a specialty of women''s and children''s portraits in olgraphy(?)
12045Is it not more than the mere ableness of method, still more than the audacity of brush work, that often passes for style?
12045Is it not the aim of painting to copy nature?
12045Is it possible to dissociate the manner of a picture from its embodiment of some fact or idea?
12045Is not this the key to the charm of her works?
12045Miss Halse executed the reredos in St. John''s Church, Notting Hill, London; a terra- cotta relief called"Earthward Board"(?)
12045Of this time she writes:"Am I satisfied?
12045Paints genre subjects, some of which are"Captain John,"in National Museum;"Laughing Child,"in C. P. Huntington Collection;"Who Comes?"
12045Was Constable in advance of his critics?
12045Were there not artists among them who decorated temples and tombs with their imperishable colors?
12045What could Henriette Knip do except paint pictures?
12045Who knows?
12045Why was this verdict not confirmed by the jury?
12045Will the judgments of the present be thus reversed in the future?
12045You have guessed it, have you not?
27183All architecture is what you do to it when you look upon it,( Did you think it was in the white or gray stone? 27183 Who cares,"exclaims a clever maker of epigrams,"whether Mr. Ruskin''s views on Turner are sound or not?
27183And how may he win that knowledge?
27183And just what is it designed to express?
27183But how to determine, each man for himself, what is the direction of our development?
27183But what does his_ picture_ mean?
27183But what is his subject?
27183But what is the beauty in the unspeakable witch on the canvas of Frans Hals?
27183But whence comes the majesty of this rude peasant, the dignity august of this rough and toil- burdened laborer, his power to move us?
27183Has the painter through these forms, however crude or however accomplished, uttered what he genuinely and for himself thought and felt?
27183In his rendering of the composer''s work what has he of his own to contribute by way of interpretation?
27183Out of the complex of interests and appeals which an object offers, what is the_ truth_ of the object?
27183The layman may ask himself, then, To what extent is a knowledge of technique necessary for appreciation?
27183To a thoughtful student of these pictures sooner or later the question comes, Whence are these likenesses and these differences?
27183What does it matter?
27183What events did he shape to his own purpose by the active force of his genius?
27183What is the bridge of transition between the work and the spirit of the appreciator by which the subtle connection is established?
27183What is the special nature of the experience which the work communicates to us in terms of feeling?
27183What is, then, we may ask, the relation of the fact of the subject to the beauty and final message of the work?
27183What shapeless lump is that, bent, crouch''d there on the sand?
27183What was the special angle of vision from which he looked upon the world?
27183What were the circumstances that moulded his character and decided his course?
27183Which one is that?
27183_ A woman:_ Is that it?
27183_( Stopping suddenly?
27183or the lines of the arches and cornices?)
27183that form in the dark, with tears?
2901And how has it come, this slowly growing faith in Perfection for Perfection''s sake?
2901And in what sort of age-- I thought-- are artists living now?
2901And it began to ask itself in this uncertainty: Do I then desire to go on living?
2901And what are we-- ripples on the tides of a birthless, deathless, equipoised Creative- Purpose-- but little works of Art?
2901And what-- I thought do I mean by that?
2901And what-- I thought-- is Realism?
2901Are conditions favourable?
2901Are there not all the signs of it?
2901For, what is Style in its true and broadest sense save fidelity to idea and mood, and perfect balance in the clothing of them?
2901Has he, on discovering its true nature, the right to call on the bookseller to refund its value?
2901If my thoughts be"What could I buy that for?"
2901Impulse of acquisition; or:"From what quarry did it come?"
2901Impulse of inquiry; or:"Which would be the right end for my head?"
2901Is it descriptive of technique, or descriptive of the spirit of the artist; or both, or neither?
2901Shall not each attempt be judged on its own merits?
2901Shall we waste breath and ink in condemnation of artists, because their temperaments are not our own?
2901Was Turgenev a realist?
2901Was he a realist?
2901Were they realists?
2901What is the meaning of that word so wildly used?
2901What then is the heart of this term still often used as an expression almost of abuse?
2901What then-- I thought-- is Art?
2901What, then, in the light of the proved justice and efficiency of the Censorship of Drama, is the reason for the absence of the Censorship of Art?
2901When a thing is new how shall it be judged?
2901Why, then, have we no Censorship to protect us from the possibility of encountering works that bring blushes to the cheek of the young person?
19164You can not travel in Greece?
19164_ Must it be then only with our poets that we insist they shall either create for us the image of a noble morality, or among us create none? 19164 And if Miranda is immoral to Caliban, is that Miranda''s fault? 19164 Could it not be sung at all, or only sung ludicrously? 19164 Do you think the+ mênis Achilêos+ came of a hard heart in Achilles, or thePallas te hoc vulnere, Pallas,"of a hard heart in Anchises''son?
19164First: What ground have we for thinking that art has ever been inspired as a message or revelation?
19164If, in such times, fair pictures have been misused, how much more fair realities?
19164Is there to be no king in it, think you, and every man to do that which is right in his own eyes?
19164Next, what does that Greek opposition of black and white mean?
19164Now, is not this a work which we may set about here in Oxford, with good hope and much pleasure?
19164One kingdom;--but who is to be its king?
19164Or only kings of terror, and the obscene empires of Mammon and Belial?
19164These figures, he says,"Raphael drew and sent to Albert Dürer in Nürnberg, to show him"--What?
19164This is grievous, you think, and hopeless?
19164What internal evidence is there in the work of great artists of their having been under the authoritative guidance of supernatural powers?
19164What is the purpose of your decoration?
19164Which of us knows what the valley of Sparta is like, or the great mountain vase of Arcadia?
19164Whom will_ you_ be governing by your thoughts, two thousand years hence?
19164Would it not be well to know this?
19164Yes, but of which king?
19164which of us, except in mere airy syllabling of names, knows aught of"sandy Ladon''s lilied banks, or old Lycæus, or Cyllene hoar"?
21198Do I?
21198Have you, sir; what is the subject?
21198How do you like it?
21198How do you like my picture?
21198How do you like my picture?
21198How goes it with thee, Rosa?
21198How much?
21198How so?
21198How the devil should you know him?
21198Now who the devil has done this?
21198Of what avail is your threat,replied Giotto,"to a man whom you have doomed to death at any rate?"
21198Pray, sir, what is that old man afraid of?
21198Reasons, and good ones,said the artist, laughing;"see-- where could I find such a picture of life as that, unless among the originals of The Cabin?"
21198Subject? 21198 What do you see, sir?"
21198What does this signify, Giotto?
21198Yes,said Blake,"the Virgin Mary appeared to me and told me it was very fine; what can you say to that?"
21198''Am I to have nothing more than this?''
21198''And how goes it with Salvator?''
21198After a hearty shake of the hand, the boxer turned to his neighbor the chimney- sweep and said,"Why, Dick, do n''t you know this here gentleman?
21198Dante, one day, quizzed him by asking,"Giotto, how is it that you, who make the children of others so beautiful, make your own so ugly?"
21198Have prices risen or fallen?"
21198I have been disappointed hitherto by the deceit of pretended friends-- shall I offend you if I offer myself next election?"
21198Morland wistfully reconnoitered the house, and at length accosted the landlord--"Upon my life, I scarcely knew it: is this the Black Bull?"
21198Once, when pressed about it, he peevishly exclaimed,"How should I know?
21198One day Bonnycastle said to him, after dinner,"Fuseli, you can write well,--why do n''t you write something?"
21198One day, his friend Donatello met him, and asked him,"What kind of work is this of thine, that thou art shutting up so closely?"
21198Ten days had scarcely elapsed before every one who passed by enquired with eager curiosity,"when the picture would be finished?"
21198The grateful painter once waited on the banker, and said,"I have finished the best of all my works-- the Lazar House-- when shall I send it home?"
21198The_ something new_ startled a man whose imagination was none of the brightest, and he said,"How shall I find something new?"
21198When he rose he enquired of Buonamico, if"he had seen more than a thousand demons wandering about his room, as he had himself in the night?"
21198returned the lady,"pray, Mr. Jervas, what is a handsome ear?"
21198what shall I write?"
21198you will drive me mad-- Reynolds and Raffaelle!--a dwarf and a giant!--why will you waste all your fine words?"
16655After Impressionism, what?
16655And if it be novel without being great, how shall we be the better off?
16655And if progress was illusory in some instances, may it not, possibly, have been so in all?
16655But the question occurs: Have we an American school in a more specific sense than this?
16655Did he not say of the"Woman Carrying Water":"I have avoided, as I always do, with a sort of horror, everything that might verge on the sentimental"?
16655Does a room full of American pictures have a different look from a room full of pictures by artists of any other nationality?
16655Does any one care?
16655Has any one else had this power since Michelangelo created his"Adam"?
16655Have we a body of painters with certain traits in common and certain differences from the painters of other countries?
16655Have we produced anything, I will not say greater, but anything as great as the noblest works of Bach and Beethoven?
16655He may have meant them to express that, but do they?
16655How could they succeed?
16655If a man were to rise and recite, with a solemn voice, words like"Ajakan maradak tecor sosthendi,"would you know what he meant?
16655If so much may be taken as proved, the question remains for consideration: What are the characteristics of the American school of painting?
16655Is it not enough that they are beautiful pictures?
16655Is it similarly and equally reasonable to speak of an American school?
16655Is she Nirvana?
16655Is she The Peace of God?
16655Now the form in which volume is most easily apprehended is the cube; do we not measure by it and speak of the cubic contents of anything?
16655Or who, looking at the exquisite landscapes or delicate figure pieces of Weir, would find anything to recall the name of Gérôme?
16655What difference does it make, he asks, whether you draw a head round or square?
16655What would Raphael have thought of such a notion, or that consummate man of the world, Titian?
16655What would the serene and mighty Veronese have thought of it, or the cool, clear- seeing Velazquez?
16655Why do they introduce, in the very midst of a design in which everything else is dislocated, a name or a word in clear Roman letters?
16655Why draw a head at all?
16655Why should not they learn the universal language of art?
16655Why should we?
18653After that what is left?
18653Ah, why was I not a pupil of Ingres?
18653Are you able to name any one who has conceived this beauty of the life of men?
18653But Corot?
18653But how much of our feeling of reverence is inspired by time?
18653But what does the skin matter?
18653Ca n''t they then simply admit such ideas as may occur to the mind in looking at a man doomed to gain his living by the sweat of his brow?
18653Do you mean that you can not get the price you ask?
18653Do you think I send you to the Louvre to find there what people call"le beau idéal,"something which is outside nature?
18653Do you think, when I tell you to copy, that I want to make copyists of you?
18653Has Schwind, with his splendid and varied gifts, ever been able to model a head with a brush?
18653Has he succeeded?
18653I remember Thackeray saying to me, concerning a certain chapter in one of his books that the critics agreed in accusing of carelessness;"Careless?
18653In what club have my critics ever encountered me?
18653Is it natural that a face seen in light should stand out against a really dark background-- that is to say, one which receives no light?
18653Is there not in every artist worthy of the name a something which sees to this naturally and without effort?
18653Of a passion, an emotion, a mood?
18653One drop of rain is as another, and the sun''s prism in all: and shalt not thou be as he, whose lives are the breath of One?
18653Or do you only mean that you are not satisfied with your work?
18653Ought not the light which falls on the figure to fall also on the wall, or the tapestry against which the figure stands?
18653Quite true, but expression of what?
18653Soon we shall be saying,"Who will deliver us from realism?"
18653W. Furse._ CLXXIII Why have I not before now finished the miniature I promised to Mrs. Butts?
18653We left them, notwithstanding, the other day; and even if we had stayed, do you think we should have continued to enjoy them?
18653What if Van der Velde had quitted his sea- pieces, or Ruysdael his waterfalls, or Hobbema his native woods?
18653Where was there an apostle apter to receive this doctrine, so convenient for me as it was-- beautiful Nature, and all that humbug?
18653Which of the two is right?
18653Why are we to be told that masters, who could think, had not the judgment to perform the inferior parts of art?
18653Yet, I repeat, why was I not his pupil?
18653You have now got your exhibition open in Edinburgh: do you find tone and depth an advantage there or not?

28072Why did art, in creating divine types, give such prominence to features borrowed from the lower animals?

36427And what of the struggling artists?
36427And what was the result?
36427But the objects are distinguished by our knowledge and experience, and if we are to eliminate these in one art, why not in another?
36427But where is the Phidian Demeter?
36427Does the impressionist see these things?
36427How can he paint her anointed with ambrosial oil which is ever struggling for freedom to bathe the rolling earth in fragrance?
36427How many artists now would have the patience to make such a mould?
36427If we accept beauty as the expression of emotion, how far have we progressed towards the indicated goal?
36427Let us suppose that a painter could be found who could execute such a figure: how could he isolate it to the mind?
36427Mars may disappear with the wolf, but who can hide the glory of Rome?
36427Now what does this mean?
36427Such was Turner according to Ruskin, but is there any sign of this in his works?
36427There must come a period when the optic or aural nerves can be attuned no further; and is the limit equal in all persons?
36427What human being can appropriately describe the great ideals in art of ancient Greece?
36427What imagination can picture the expansion of art throughout the world had its flight been free since the dawn of history?
36427What is there then to compensate the artist for this limitation?
36427What of these?
36427What was it then that established the eternal fame of her beauty?
36427What were these to do at a time when at the best the outlook was poor?
36427Who would weep when in front of the greatest marvels of Greek sculpture?
36427Why should the artist remember the orgies of Rome, and forget the Grecian pastoral fancies?
36427Why should the dance be turned into a drunken revel?
36427Why trouble about carving in the round when we only actually see in the human figure a flat surface defined by colour?
36427With what other term than"limitless"can we describe the imagination of a Shakespeare?
36427[ 10] Of course these observations are general, for there arises the question, to what extent can the senses and imagination be trained?

30693Had not St. Anthony of Padua held the Divine Child in his arms?
30693Hast never heard of the familiar dæmon of Socrates, whispering to him superhuman wisdom?
30693Here you have your arm working up, backwards or forwards; but how about pulling it down?
30693How could St. Luke recommend us to desist from getting back our stolen property?
30693How then do matters stand between art and civilisation?
30693Jervase and Protasius?
30693Look at the human arm: what engineer would have dared to fasten anything to such a movable base as that?
30693Might we not be tempted to believe that the divine son of Semele had vouchsafed a similar boon to the happy sculptor of this marble?"
30693Nay, is not the suffering Christ a fresh creation of the Middle Ages, made really to bear the sorrows of a world more sorrowful than that of Judea?
30693Nay, why should God prefer the penitence of one sinner to the constant goodness of ninety- nine righteous men?
30693Two orders, did I say?
30693V What art would there have been without that Franciscan revival, or rather what emotional synthesis of life would art have had to record?
30693What train of thought has been set up?
30693Will the beloved have no mercy?
30693Yet, let us ask ourselves, what is the value of the result?
30693become absentees from the poor, much troubled Present; turn your backs to Realities, become idle strollers in the Past?
30693what was the emotional synthesis of life given by those who had come too early to partake in the new religion of love?
30693why not admit, just because work has to be done and loads to be borne, that we can not grind and pant on without interruption?

8523Do you see how important the word"Capulet"is becoming to us, in its main idea?
8523Do you see, by the way, how perfectly the image is carried out by Sir Walter in putting his Diana on the border country?
8523Do you suppose I ought to have said carelessly?
8523First, how_ do_ they lie in the quarry?
8523Have you ever considered the infinite functions of protection to mountain form exercised by the mosses and lichens?

8523Hubert of Lucca-- How came they, think you, to choose_ him_ out of a stranger city, and that a poorer one than their own?
8523If men like these submit to the merchant, who shall rebel?
8523In this endeavour to teach they almost unawares taught themselves; the question"How shall I represent this most clearly?"
8523Is Vasari entirely wrong then?
8523Is it altogether, think you, by blundering, or by disproportion in intellect or in body, that Theseus becomes St. Athanase?
8523Is not that a greater difference, think you, than one of mere decadence?
8523Jehu the son of Nimshi is not swifter of answer to Ahaziah''s messenger than the fiery Christian king, in his''What hast thou to do with peace?''
8523Perhaps you like this''improved''action better?
8523Secondly, how can we lay them so in every part of our building?
8523The King answered wisely,"It does not appear to me Arab''s money; you Pisans, what golden money have_ you_ got?"
8523The"long- drawn aisle"is here, indeed,--but where is the"fretted vault"?
8523This''maniera goffa e sproporzionata''of Vasari is not, then, merely the wasting away of former leonine strength into thin rigidities of death?
8523Thou art a strange fellow-- a tailor make a man?
8523Unnatural, perhaps, to Niccola?
8523Very wicked, you think, of the Pope''s legate, acting thus against quasi- Protestant Florence?

7227So easy a matter that, you think?

7227The servant stops, seeing her so quiet; asking the midwife, Shall I give it her now?
7227Was it, in the first place, to Giotto, think you, the"composition of a scene,"or the conception of a fact?
7227Was there any need for Giotto to have put the priest at the foot of the dead body, with the black banner stooped over it in the shape of a grave?
7227Well, that is really so; and now, will you take the pains to see why?
7227What is the use of lecturing us on this?''
7227What kind of boy is this, think you, who can make Titian his copyist,--Dante his friend?

23593Can you for an instant suppose that the architect was a greater or wiser man who built this, than he who built that?
23593Did you read the account of the proceedings at the Crystal Palace at Sydenham the other day?
23593Do you recollect the west window of your own Dunblane Abbey?
23593Do you suppose he studied dogs and eagles out of the Elgin Marbles?
23593Do you think that by any splendor of architecture-- any height of stories-- you can atone to the mind for the loss of the aspect of the roof?
23593Do you think there is any group of words which would thus interest you, when the things expressed by them are uninteresting?
23593First, then, What is the real difference between the principles on which art has been pursued before and since Raphael?
23593For instance, in matters of history, is not the Retreat of the Ten Thousand romantic?
23593For instance, when you spend a guinea upon an engraving, what have you done?
23593Has it ever occurred to you to ask the question, what effect the cottage would have upon your feelings if it had_ no roof_?
23593Have not these words, Pinnacle, Turret, Belfry, Spire, Tower, a pleasant sound in all your ears?
23593How are we to understand these opposing statements?"
23593How did Hogarth rise?
23593How did Reynolds rise?
23593How do you like it?
23593How is this?
23593How many windows precisely of this form do you suppose there are in the New Town of Edinburgh?
23593If you bought some pictures to decorate such a room as this, where would you put them?
23593If you really make up a party of pleasure, and get rid of the forms and fashion of public propriety for an hour or two, where do you go for it?
23593Is it Christian history, or the histories of Pan and Silenus?
23593Is not the death of Leonidas?
23593It is written,"If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it?
23593It may be asked why we are to build only the tops of the windows pointed,--why not follow the leaves, and point them at the bottom also?
23593Not on a level with the chandelier?
23593Now what is the custom of your British Parliament in these days?
23593Now, do you suppose that which is so all- important in a cottage, can be of small importance in your own dwelling- house?
23593Of course it would; but why?
23593On a level with the eye, I suppose, or nearly so?
23593Or, again, what do you suppose was the proclaimed and understood principle of all Christian_ governments_ in the Middle Ages?
23593What are your daughters drawing upon their cardboard screens as soon as they can use a pencil?
23593What do you at present_ mean_ by historical painting?
23593What do you see your children doing, obeying their own natural and true instincts?
23593What do you suppose our descendants will care for our imaginations of the events of former days?
23593What do you suppose was the substance of good education, the education of a knight, in the Middle Ages?
23593What was taught to a boy as soon as he was able to learn anything?
23593What, you would say to me, do you mean to tell us that_ we_ deny Christ?
23593Where do you go to eat strawberries and cream?
23593Who are the men who have made an impression upon you yourselves-- upon your own age?
23593Why, if I were to say the same thing over and over again, for the single hour you are going to let me talk to you, would you listen to me?
23593You would not have us buy what we do n''t like?"
23593[ 38] Do you suppose that was the way the Duke sat when your destinies depended on him?
23593and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it?"
23593and yet will you tell me you think them as beautiful?
23593did you ever see one sunrise like another?
23593does not God vary His clouds for you every morning and every night?
23593is there no physician there?"
23593of the Horatii?
23593or that in the arrangement of these dull and monotonous stones there is more wit and sense than you can penetrate?
23593what would this person, or that, have done under the circumstances?
23593yet do you not instantly declare the song to be loveliest?
6306And about the frescos?
6306And honestly now: I''ll never tell,said Andersen with a sly twinkle in his blue eyes--"did you ever repeat the offense?"
6306And know the value of pictures?
6306And what do you think of it?
6306And you recommended the defendant to buy this picture for two hundred pounds?
6306At least you have your own ideas about values?
6306Do you want to go to jail?
6306Is that your brother?
6306Me? 6306 Mr. Whistler, it is reported that you received a goodly sum for this recommendation-- is there anything in that?"
6306Oho, Simon, what do you think of that?
6306Shall I paint the thing just as I see it?
6306Well, and what are you going to make of William?
6306Who is your favorite author?
6306Would you advise me to take a course in elocution?
6306You see what it is meant for, Simon?
6306And again he might not-- what more idle and fascinating than such speculation?
6306And how about the divine Giorgione who called him father?
6306And since Rembrandt at his best was never surpassed, who could have instructed him?
6306And who is Giorgione?
6306And why should Pacheco not have been pleased?
6306Anyway, Abildgaard used to say, long years after,"What did I tell you?"
6306At last the little girl turned to her mother and said,"Mamma, did you ever see so many bare legs in all the born days of your life?"
6306Aye, was n''t he teaching the lad a trade himself, as it was?"
6306CORREGGIO What genius disclosed all these wonders to thee?
6306Completing, did I say?
6306Did not Thackeray say that the people of England regarded Jehovah as an infinite George the Fourth?
6306Do n''t you know how Rembrandt painted the"Christ at Emmaus"?
6306Do then men love dead women better than they do the living?
6306Do you know the face of Oliver Goldsmith, the droop of the head, the receding chin and the bulging forehead?
6306Gian Bellini?
6306Had I not seen Gian the painter go not half an hour before?
6306Had such loveliness aught to do with life or death?
6306Has Nature only just so much genius at her disposal?
6306Have n''t we overrated this precious gift of authorship just a trifle?
6306Have not some of the great books of the world been written in prison?
6306He smiled and said,"Who is Rose?"
6306How would he know that other men were contemptible, did he not look into his own heart and there see the hateful things?
6306I am only a poor gondolier-- why should I trouble myself about what great folks do?
6306I looked around-- and what do you believe?
6306If Corot saw more than we, why denounce Corot?
6306If he did not believe in himself, how could he make others believe in him?
6306It hears the yelping of the pack, and there creeps in the question,"What if they are right?"
6306Loaves alone are not quite enough-- we want also the bread of life, and the bread of life is love, and did n''t I say that flowers symbol love?
6306Me?
6306Sculptors have carved this lion, painters have painted it, artists have sketched it, but did you ever see a reproduction of"The Lion of Lucerne"?
6306She picked it up and turned the leaves aimlessly; then she opened her Boston bag and slipped the book inside, saying as she did so:"You do not mind?"
6306Should it be the law- school or the studio of Herrera the painter?
6306So they kept on, each one saying,"And what will our folks say tonight?"
6306The cross- examination ran something like this:"You are a painter of pictures?"
6306The question is sometimes asked,"What becomes of all the Valedictorians and Class- Day Poets?"
6306Was ever such an example of concentration, energy and industry known in the history of art?
6306Was she only a thing?
6306Was this the end?
6306What had she done?
6306What kind of a man was Leonardo?
6306When did they begin?
6306Who was she, anyway, that she should thus bare her beauty before such a creature?
6306Would he allow me to ride with His Highness?
6306Would he not kindly comply?
6306Yet since"Hamlet"was never equaled, who could have taught its author how?
6306and"To whom are you going to marry Fanny?"
6306he answered, and then pulling something from under his sash he said,"Is this your cap, signor?"
6306is that the man who felt that he was dying?
6306that the transparent, unearthly thing lying there so prone and pale was dead?
27939After all, is it not often the case with pictures, statues, journeys, and the reading of books?
27939Again, do we not prefer the books which deal with habits simpler than our own?
27939And are we really much refreshed?
27939And what for?
27939And, on the other hand, is not the truth of æsthetics, the bare, hard fact, a very different matter?
27939But decoration of what?
27939But may the whole world sit idly watching the raptures and death- throes of Tristram and Yseult?
27939But since life has got two rhythms, why should art have only one?
27939But what if we_ do not care for white_?
27939But what is to be done?
27939But why not more than merely that?
27939But with what are you going to replace religion itself in art?
27939But_ can_ we?
27939Can we get the full taste of pleasure sought for pleasure''s own sake?
27939Can we put them into an individual life; can anything be put into an individual life save furniture and garments, intellectual as well as material?
27939Do we not love the Odyssey partly because of Calypso weaving in her cave, and Nausicaa washing the clothes with her maidens?
27939Do you remember La Bruyère''s famous description of the peasants under Louis XIV.?
27939Does it free his art from my rather miserable imputation?
27939Does it not lend additional divinity that Christianity should have arisen among peasants and handicraftsmen?
27939Does not this give to Pleasure a certain freedom, a humane character wholly different from the awful, unappeasable tyranny of Pain?
27939For is not pleasing the fancy and exciting the feelings the real, final use of art?
27939Hills and a few cypresses, such as his contemporaries used for background?
27939How may I bring this home, without introducing a sickly atmosphere of decadent art and literature into my valley of the bay- trees?
27939How often have not some of us felt like that; and how much might not those of us who never have, learn, could they learn, from those words of Elia?
27939I say_ call_ ourselves: for can we be sure we really possess them?
27939In what shape shall the various members of our soul proceed on their journey; which forming the van, which the rear and centre?
27939Is it not stupid thus to"blink and shut our apprehension up?"
27939Is this a superstition, a mere myth, perhaps, born of words?
27939It is sad, not for the beasts but for our souls, that, since we must kill beasts for food( though may not science teach a cleaner, more human diet?)
27939Might one not search long for a better symbol of what we may all do by our life?
27939Nay, if those grumous and speckly viscosities of evil green, orange, poppy purple, and nameless hues, are the only things which give us any pleasure?
27939Nay, worse, is it not positively heartless, brutal?
27939Or shall there be neither van, nor rear, nor wedge- like forward flight?
27939Some Tuscan scene, think you?
27939The future?
27939The persons who maintained just now( and who does not feel a hard- hearted Philistine for gainsaying them?)
27939To put into their pockets or, like Marshall Villeroi("a- t- on mis de l''or dans mes poches?
27939To whom?
27939We may put beautiful objects, dignified manners, harmonious colours and shapes, but can we put dignity, harmony, or beauty?
27939Whither are we going?
27939Why else are certain things_ those which have to be done_; whence otherwise such expressions as_ social duties_ and_ keeping up one''s position_?
27939Why so?
27939With what, I ventured to ask just now, are you going to fill the place of religion in art?
27939Would it not be worth while to reorganise this diet of ideas?
27939You say we are abnormal, unwholesome, decaying; very good, then why should we not get pleasure in decaying, unwholesome, and abnormal things?
27939or is it, seen in some wider connection, even like that clumsy glass inkstand in the oak panelled and brocade hung room?"
13395And what about discrimination?
13395Picasso?
13395What about the very meaning of the word?
13395What are its consequences?
13395What is the cause of French conventionality?
13395Why am I doing it?
13395( Whom can he mean?)
13395Again: if rules were made by pedants for pedants, must not mere lawlessness be a virtue?
13395Also, so cosmopolitan is Paris, there were those who would put in the query:"Et Picasso?"
13395And did Mr. Epstein see Him with the eyes of one who knew what for ages Christ had meant to Europe, or with those of a Jew of the first century?
13395And how is his emotion to be kept at white heat through the long, cold days of formal construction?
13395And how many Frenchmen do know anything?
13395And now come the inevitable questions-- where were these things made, and when?
13395And of Flandrin-- what has become of him?
13395And we, ourselves, did we never despise what to- day we adore?
13395And what of Delaunay?
13395And what shall I say of the home- grown article?
13395And, I will add, could anyone be less_ gavroche_?
13395Are we, then, to assume that there is no connection between art and civilization?
13395But a great painter?
13395But at what moment did his dissent become acute, and to what extent was he aware from the first of its existence?
13395But had it really changed so much as we?
13395But how, said they, should deep call to deep in Alexandrines and a pseudo- classical convention, to say nothing of full- bottomed wigs?
13395But if, as I am told, we all owe money to America, has not America acquired, along with her financial supremacy, certain moral obligations?
13395But is even this a serious misfortune?
13395But were not European Primitives and Buddhists similarly bound, and did they not contrive to circumvent their doctrinal limitations?
13395But what English painter could conceive and effectively carry out a work of art?
13395But what does he want this genius of his to do?
13395But who ever thought of going there to look for a work of art?
13395Can he create something that shall be uncompromising as art and at the same time humane?
13395Can he do what Raphael and Racine did?
13395Could anyone be less of a reactionary and at the same time less of an anarchist?
13395Could anyone be moved by the verisimilitude of Uccello?
13395Did ever Frenchmen sympathize absolutely with Don Quixote?
13395Do they?
13395He will pose the question--"Why is Milton a great poet?"
13395How many mute, inglorious Miltons, Raphaels, and Mozarts may not have lost heart and gone under in the savage insecurity of the dark ages?
13395How shall we explain his enthusiasm for Macpherson''s fraud?
13395How should that race which above all others understands and revels in life care for an art of abstractions?
13395How should they love anything so uncongenial to their temperament?
13395How, having raised good sense to the power of genius, should France quite approve æsthetic fanaticism?
13395Is it a mistake to find him intolerable now?
13395It is one the answer to which must depend a good deal on our answer to that old and irritating query-- is beauty absolute?
13395Niggers can be admired artists without any gifts more singular than high spirits; so why drag in the intellect?
13395Now such questions lead inevitably to an immense query--"What is Art?"
13395On the other hand, those who queried:"Et Bonnard?"
13395Only, can we recognize it?
13395So why, because he happened to have an astonishing gift of statement and rapid generalization, should Zola be treated as though he were a monster?
13395So, if an artist happens also to be a Frenchman-- and the combination is admirably common-- what is he to do?
13395The protagonists of the heroic epoch( 1904--1914 shall we say?)
13395This is plain speaking; how else should a critic, who believes that he has diagnosed the disease, convince a modern patient of his parlous state?
13395To be sure there was Shakespeare and the celebrated Hugo-- or was it Gambetta?
13395Was Christ intelligent or was He something nobler, and what has Mr. Epstein to say about it?
13395Was He disdainful or was He sympathetic?
13395Was He like Mr. Bertrand Russell or more like Mr. Gladstone?
13395Was he really a great painter?
13395Was it a mistake in 1890 to rave about Wagner?
13395We contemplate the object, we experience the appropriate emotion, and then we begin asking"Why?"
13395Were they really born to be painters?
13395What could be more orderly?
13395What engine is to generate the heat and make taut the energies by which alone significant form can be created?
13395What has become of Chabaud, who was a bit too clever, and a little vulgar even?
13395What is it Derain wants of them?
13395What is the meaning of this?
13395What matters, however, are not theories, but works: so what of the works of Jazz?
13395What of critical practice?
13395What shall he do?
13395What would Poussin have said to so passionate a negation of common sense?
13395What, for instance, is the history of his relations with Impressionism?
13395Who but feels that Wilson, Blake, Reynolds, Turner, and Rossetti were remarkable men?
13395Yet when I ask myself:"Is Ibsen''s moralizing worse than anyone else''s?"
13395and"How?"
13395and,"What was His character?"
19980But who wantonly destroys it?
19980She is more precious than rubies--but do you think that is only because she will help you to buy rubies?
19980A certain quantity of able hands and heads being placed at our disposal, what shall we most advisably set them upon?
19980A fine prosperous business that would be, would it not?
19980And do not you see what a pretty and pleasant come- off there is for most of us, in this spiritual application?
19980Behold, is it not of the Lord of Hosts that the people shall labour in the very fire, and the people shall weary themselves for very vanity?"
19980But because you can not be Handel and Mozart-- is it any reason why you should not learn to sing"God save the Queen"properly, when you have a mind to?
19980But do you suppose that it is the law of God, or nature, that people shall be paid in money for becoming wiser and happier?
19980But far more than all this, is it a question not of clothes or weapons, but of men?
19980But you do n''t suppose that_ that''s_ goldsmith''s work?
19980Can it be Liberality then?
19980Can you guess what?
19980Can you guess which it is likely to be?
19980Christ,--no cure, No help for women, sobbing out of sight Because men made the laws?
19980Do you mean that the laws of all civilised nations are perfect?
19980Do you suppose it is in the long run good for Manchester, or good for England, that the Continent should be in the state it is?
19980Do you think that is only because she will enable you to get all the things you desire?
19980Do you think that, by learning to draw, and looking at flowers, you will ever get the ability to design a piece of lace beautifully?
19980Hast thou found No remedy, my England, for such woes?
19980Have n''t we built a perfectly beautiful gallery for all the pictures we have to take care of?"
19980Have you nothing best, Which generous souls may perfect and present, And He shall thank the givers for?
19980How do you distinguish between great and small sins?
19980How high can we raise the level of a diffused Learning and Morality?
19980I can not stay now to dispute that, though I would willingly; but do you think it is_ still_ necessary for that development?
19980If they all choose to have lace too-- if it ceases to be a prize-- it becomes, does it not, only a cobweb?
19980Is it a question of classical dress-- what a tunic was like, or a chlamys, or a peplus?
19980Is n''t your shilling''s worth the best bargain?
19980Is your courage spent In handwork only?
19980It may be very amusing now, and look much like a work of genius; but what will be its value a hundred years hence?
19980No cure for wicked children?
19980No hope for Rome, free France, chivalric France?
19980No mercy for the slave, America?
19980No outlet, Austria, for the scourged and bound, No call back for the exiled?
19980No pity, O world, no tender utterance Of benediction, and prayers stretched this way For poor Italia, baffled by mischance?
19980Or what other means of judgment will you employ, to separate the things which ought to be formally regulated from the things which ought not?
19980Or, waiving this, is it not indisputable that the claim of the State to the allegiance, involves the protection of the subject?
19980Should it, for instance, as in Greece, be of physical beauty,--emulation,( Hesiod''s second Eris),--pugnacity, and patriotism?
19980So that the first question of a good art- economist respecting any work is, Will it lose its flavour by keeping?
19980Suppose all the gossamer were Nottingham- made, would a sensible spider be either prouder, or happier, think you?
19980That you might tread upon them, and starve them, and get the better of them in every possible way?
19980Well then, supposing we wish to employ it, how is it to be best discovered and refined?
19980Well, supposing them sculptors, will not the same rule hold?
19980Well, who made him more persevering or more sagacious than others?
19980Were we any the better of the course of affairs in''48?
19980What can he do, but go and lay it on his mother''s grave?
19980What can we do, if we would?
19980What do you suppose I mean by a pretty fancy?
19980What do you suppose fools were made for?
19980What is it to him, if the angels of Assisi fade from its vaults, or the queens and kings of Chartres fall from their pedestals?
19980What must we do, whether we will or not?
19980What shall he do with it?
19980What should we do with houses in Verona?"
19980Where is the product of that work?
19980Why are your carriages nicely painted and finished outside?
19980Why are your exteriors of houses so well finished, your furniture so polished and costly, but for other people to see?
19980Why is one man richer than another?
19980Would you not at once assert of such a mistress that she knew nothing of her duties?
19980Would you not say that the prudent and kind young lady was, on the whole, answerable for the additional touches of claw on the Vandykes?
19980Yes, gentlemen of the common council; but what has been doing in the time of the transfer?
19980Yet surely a spider is clever enough for his own ends?
19980You do n''t think that it would be convenient, or even creditable, for women to wash the doorsteps or dish the dinners in lace gowns?
19980You will( I hope) finally ask me what is the outcome of all this, practicable tomorrow morning by us who are sitting here?
19980_ R._--Or that they are perfect at least in their discrimination of what crimes they should deal with, and what crimes they should let alone?
19980_ R._--What_ do_ you mean, then?
19980and how far shall we be compelled, if we limit, to exaggerate, the advantages and injuries of our system?
19980no brothel- lure Burnt out by popular lightnings?
19980no light Of teaching, liberal nations, for the poor, Who sit in darkness when it is not night?
19980no repose, Russia for knouted Poles worked underground, And gentle ladies bleached among the snows?
19980or has the stabling of the dragoon horses in the great houses of Italy any distinct effect in the promotion of the cotton- trade?
19980or, as in modern England, of physical ugliness,--envy,( Hesiod''s first Eris),--cowardice, and selfishness?
19980test of good, will it please a century hence?
19980you will say,"are we not to produce any new art, nor take care of our parish churches?"
19980you will say,"when do we do such things?
20237Is he employed in the service of the Grand Cophte?
20237What else do you see?
20237''Are you not tired of those eternal robes?
20237''But did it make you laugh?''
20237''Do you think, sir, that I ought to be a pupil to anybody?''
20237''Hee zays zo, does hee?
20237''How can you talk such trash, Cosway?''
20237''How did you like the play?''
20237''Is English wet weather one of the things which we would desire to see art give perpetuity to?''
20237''Shall I give you an account of it?''
20237''The nose?
20237''True, sire,''answered the painter;''but does your Majesty keep an open table as I do?''
20237''Well, Verrio,''the king inquired,''what is your request?''
20237''Were the articles authentic?''
20237''What do you know,''he was asked,''of the Prince of Wales, that he so often speaks of you?''
20237''What has the Academy done for me?''
20237''Who''s to teach''ee here?
20237''Will hee?
20237''Yes,''Northcote answered;''but how am I to paint the sound of dump, dump, dump?''
20237''[ 25] But was Mr. Ruskin in any better plight?
20237''[ 26][ 25]''What can I say of the Napoleon of Mr. Turner?
20237A bystander inquires what has become of the nose of the bust?
20237And Macpherson?
20237And after painting all his Whig friends and associates, what was he to do?
20237And then the difficult question arises: when is he to assert his independence?
20237And then why, was indignantly asked, why had the artist arranged the portraits so cruelly?
20237And was he a male coquette?
20237And what claims upon society had the man who chose to conduct himself towards it after this manner?
20237And what did she think of his art?
20237And why do they assume these forms?
20237At this juncture his father abruptly entered the room, crying out,''You play Jaffier, Tom?
20237At what period in his career is he to cease leaning on his teacher, and to pursue his own devices unaided and alone?
20237Boswell?)
20237But is this for a moment sustainable?
20237But to live?
20237But what could he do?
20237Could one man only have art abilities and ambitions, and make for himself the opportunity to employ and gratify them?
20237Did_ she_ ever stand before his easel and contemplate his works?
20237Do you think he was overawed by_ they_?
20237Dr. Blair wrote in defence,''Could any man, of modern age, have written such poems?''
20237For when there arose a cry of''Who wrote Sir Joshua''s discourses, if not Burke?''
20237Harley?''
20237He was then asked which was his favourite recitation in Milton?
20237How the devil should we distinguish the works of the ancients if they were perfect?
20237How to live?
20237In short, I can think of no reason in the world against your going there but one:_ do you know his youngest brother?_?
20237In short, I can think of no reason in the world against your going there but one:_ do you know his youngest brother?_?
20237In society he was a power; for could he not by means of his pencil bestow, as it were, a certificate of beauty upon whom he would?
20237Is it well to watch them like Turner?
20237Is not the comparison impressive?
20237May, then, clouds be formed of minute hollow globules of water swimming in the air, balloon- like?
20237Messieurs ACADEMICIANS, when you''re dead, Where can your impudences hope to go?
20237Mr. Ruskin asks two questions only--''Are these works accurate renderings of nature, as I by education and study now know nature to be?''
20237Northcote, pray how long do you devote to the duties of the toilet?''
20237Patronized by the Prince of Wales, what could he do but imitate his patron-- who was nothing if not''dressy?''
20237Poor human nature, when wilt thou come to years of discretion?''
20237See what it is to gain a monarch''s smile, And hast thou missed it, REYNOLDS, all this while?
20237Should they submit, serve where they had once ruled, sink into simple Fellows, and thus, as it were, grace the triumph of their foes?
20237The diving[ divining?]
20237The plays performed were_ The Wedding Day_, and_ Who''s the Dupe?_ Lawrence represented Lord Rakeland in the one, and Grainger in the other.
20237These and a hundred other questions; and what is the use of asking them?
20237To be merely a foil?
20237To which did he incline?
20237Was n''t he the Prince''s painter?
20237Was_ he_ any nearer the painter''s meaning?
20237What are clouds?
20237What care I for the nose?''
20237What could have induced simple- minded Mr. De Loutherbourg to put trust in this arch- juggler?
20237What does he live upon?
20237What had a painter to do with politics?
20237What is a picture of Ramsay or Romney now worth?
20237What is he to do?
20237What need of further holocausts?
20237What says he of himself?
20237What was all this to Runciman?
20237What was now to be their course?
20237What zort of peinter?''
20237Who cares about Agandecca,''with red eyes of tears''--''with loose and raven locks?''
20237Who knows anything now about Catholda, and Corban Cargloss, and Golchossa and Cairbar of the gloomy brow?
20237Who reads Ossian now?
20237Who was Laguerre?
20237Who was Verrio?
20237Why is the soft, level, floating, white mist so heavy?
20237Why should you want to know what he did n''t?''
20237Will you be so friendly as to come and sit an hour with me in the evening?''
20237Will you have the kindness to lend me an umbrella?''
20237Would he be a player or a painter?
20237Your vather is n''t a moneyed man, is he?''
20237_ Was_ he unappreciated?
20237and next,''Are these high art in its purest, and most ideal, and most godly form?''
20237asks Hazlitt; and he answers his own question--''What matter?
20237cried Garrick,''was Shakespeare marked with mulberries?''
20237does Northcote keep a dog?
20237he exclaimed, afterwards telling the story,''what could I say?
20237he would ask petulantly;''they knighted Calcott, why do n''t they knight me?''
20237his favourite exclamation in his west country dialect,''what, is it_ you_?
20237or to neglect them with Claude, Salvator, Ruysdael, Wouvermans, never to look nor portray?
20237the long legs and the flying draperies?
20237what''s he tu du here?
20237who would give it?
7291And do you suppose you will lose anything by approaching your conventional art from this higher side?
7291And if so, when the new style is invented, what is to be done next?
7291And in that state what should we call ourselves?
7291And still, I ask you, What after this?
7291And what do you suppose dyes your tiles of cottage roof?
7291And where has that French school its origin?
7291And, again, I ask-- Are you of use to any one?
7291Are we even sure of ourselves?
7291Are we met here as honest people?
7291But did you ever see either young or old amused by the architrave of the door?
7291But if you wish to design them yourselves, how do you do it?
7291But what meaning has the iron railing?
7291But when you are fairly_ at_ the work, what is the motive then which tells upon every touch of it?
7291Can you do as much by your group of lines?
7291Can you remember any in which architectural proportions contributed to the entertainment of the evening?
7291Do we know what we are about?
7291Do you suppose it was only going on in the time of David, and that nobody but Jews ever murder the poor?
7291Does your art lead you, or your gain lead you?
7291Egyptian ornament?
7291Finally, I ask, Can you be of_ Use_ to any one?
7291Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people as they eat bread?
7291Have you ever considered, in speaking as we do so often of distant blue hills, what it is that makes them blue?
7291Here''s a bit of first- rate work for example:"Tweed said to Till,''What gars ye rin sae still?''
7291How can such a thing be asked?
7291How did you determine the breadth of the border and relative size of the numerals?
7291How did you determine the number of figures you would put into the neckerchief?
7291How did you fix the number?
7291How many mills do we want?
7291I proceed then farther to ask, Can you inform anybody?
7291I will grant you this Eldorado of imagination-- but can you have more than one Columbus?
7291Is it not strange to find this stern and strong metal mingled so delicately in our human life, that we can not even blush without its help?
7291Is there anything in common life too mean,--in common too trivial,--to be ennobled by your touch?
7291Is there not something striking in this fact, considered largely as one of the types, or lessons, furnished by the inanimate creation?
7291Is this, then, what you want?
7291May we not advisedly look into this matter a little, even tonight, and ask first, Who are these poor?
7291Men?
7291Might we not justly be looked upon with suspicion and fear, rather than with sympathy, by the innocent and unartistical public?
7291Now, do we ever ask ourselves what the real meaning of these passages may be, and who these wicked people are, who are"murdering the innocent?"
7291Now, is that the kind of thing you want to come to everywhere?
7291On the other hand-- Is your money first with you, and your fame first with you?
7291Or otherwise interested in the proportions of the room than as they admitted more or fewer friendly faces?
7291Or shall there be no limitations?
7291Or, again, do you recollect Orcagna''s tabernacle in the church of San Michele, at Florence?
7291Or, if you sail in company, and divide the prize of your discovery and the honour thereof, who is to come after you clustered Columbuses?
7291Or, lastly, do you think the man who designed the procession on the portal of Amiens was the subordinate workman?
7291Or, must every architect invent a little piece of the new style, and all put it together at last like a dissected map?
7291Phidias, Michael Angelo, Orcagna, Pisano, Giotto,--which of these men, do you think, could not use his chisel?
7291Raphael''s arabesques; are they not?
7291Tell me, then, first of all, what ornamental work is usually put before our students as the type of decorative perfection?
7291That is all simple and comprehensive enough-- but what is it to come to?
7291That would be some loss to you; would it not?
7291The question was not now with him, What can I represent?
7291The test is absolute, inevitable-- Is your art first with you?
7291Then, if they can not touch, or inspire, or comfort any one, can your architectural proportions amuse any one?
7291What is given the student as next to Raphael''s work?
7291What think you of that for a school of design?
7291What will you have?
7291Where, then, is your difference?
7291Why are there no more lines?
7291Why are there two lines outside of the border, and one only inside?
7291Why did you put the double blots at the corners?
7291Why lines at all to separate the barbarous figures; and why, if lines at all, not double or treble instead of single?
7291Why not at the angles of the chequers,--or in the middle of the border?
7291Why not three and two, or three and five?
7291Will you then tell me precisely where the separation exists between one and the other?
7291Will your architectural proportions do as much?
7291Will your proportions of the façade heal the sick, or clothe the naked?
7291Will, you, then, design the profiles of these mouldings yourselves, or will you copy them?
7291Would you advise him, if he asked your advice, to give up his wood- blocks and take to canvas?
7291Yes: and do you suppose you will find the Christian less human?
7291You are going straight at it at present; and I have only to ask under what limitations I am to conceive or describe your final success?
7291and whether those rude chequers of the tartan, or the exquisitely fancied involutions of the Cashmere, fold habitually over the noblest hearts?
7291are they prophets, saints, priests, or kings?
7291but, How high can I build-- how wonderfully can I hang this arch in air, or weave this tracery across the clouds?
7291how bring it down into patterns, and all that you are called upon as operatives to produce?
7291how make it the means of your livelihood, and associate inferior branches of art with this great art?
7291or do we indeed want no end of mills?
7291to what fortunate islands of style are your architectural descendants to sail, avaricious of new lands?
7291where is all this going on?
45504A good land here; but what is there to come, where Art begins?
45504A tailor?
45504Ah, when will the power of it cease?
45504And how should we know what ought to be, and what ought not to be, in our model, if we are ignorant of his or her construction?
45504And why not?
45504And yet, what does it matter in the end what we have to do in order to keep up the life, if the life is devoted to the thought?
45504And, after all, what does it matter whether people say we are like So- and- so or not, if we are doing our very best?
45504Are those eyes exactly like the eyes of the one you love or mourn for?
45504Are you a gardener?
45504As for the other class, do they help the work done, or that has to be done?
45504But to believers, what is it but a continuation of everlasting joy?
45504But to the hopeless, or spirits who can not rest upon a hope, what are the pleasures of time but days spent in a condemned cell to the doomed?
45504But what made critics of this class?
45504But what of all that?
45504But who can grow affectionate over''plates of iron''?
45504Can the painter do any better than imitate the street showman with the three colours?
45504Can the_ wish_ engender power?
45504Could any man want to paint better?
45504Did Milton look the poet to Cromwell that he is to us?
45504Did they look like mice peeping in and out as she tripped( limped) along according to the poet?
45504Did they not comfort you more then than now when you know what they really are, as you watched them grow moist with their great sympathy?
45504Did you ever see the like of that?''
45504Do moths add to the value of clothes?
45504Do the waves and the winds claim a unity with the ship now as they did then?
45504Do you want the cold clay that is lying under the senseless stones, or the spirit which is hovering about you still?
45504Does not the painter paint his picture to be seen, and can anyone admire the modesty that will not hold it up to the passer- by?
45504For instance, if we are eating something nice, is it no longer nice if our neighbour says it is not?
45504For what?
45504From what?
45504Has the painter, in letting go the exact facsimile, not given you something beyond and better-- the motion and soul of that cornfield?
45504Have I made it?
45504Have I made it?
45504How, then, ought we to do it?
45504If it was delicate, refined, bold, masterly before, how could it be vulgar, coarse, or commonplace afterwards?
45504In summer, ay, or in winter either, are we warmer gloved or ungloved on a winter day?
45504Is Whistler wrong in his mode of expressing himself?
45504Is it a sign of ignorance to frankly confess that this sort of thing is beyond you?
45504Is it a_ dead_ or a_ living_ portrait of the corn- ears?
45504Is it not a good land to poet, painter, utilitarian, agnostic, and devotionalist?
45504Is it not all equally pitiful in its progression as we watch the stages?
45504Is it red, blue, green, orange, purple, yellow, or gems and sparkles of fire?
45504Is it subtlety to mask over your meaning with words?
45504Is it the heat fumes which are growing denser as the day advances?
45504Is it the sound of the instruments we are listening to?
45504Is the painted cornfield exactly like the cornfields you have seen?
45504Is this not a better picture than their-- consumptive saints?''
45504It seems perfect, can I wonder that it is not understood?
45504Shall we alter what nature has done so well, introduce our poor little rules, and tailorise the picture until it stands reproachless?
45504Take what you please, as an example,--a street scene crowded with people,--what is it to the looker out of a window?
45504The noble path of honour is pointed out, and we glow as we read, with the desire to follow: what sermon could teach us more?
45504They may be the exact shape and size and shade, but are they the eyes you used to look into and let out your soul after?
45504Through dark hours of cold affliction, from sharp thorns we pulled the rose; Marvel you at our assurance, at the pride of our repose?
45504Walk hard, because fatigue ought to be a pleasure?
45504Were they not happy times when Jack the Giant- Killer was the veritable history of a brave boy?
45504What about?
45504What are rags and empty purses when to heights like these they rise?
45504What difference did that signature make in the merit of the picture?
45504What does this suggest, if not the grand cathedrals with their pillars and arched domes?
45504What had their battles done but for his pen?
45504What is glazing and scumbling?
45504What is our pain or our pleasure to the partner of it all?
45504What is that which we have given it?
45504What sailor of the grand old school can take a pride in cold iron or cast steel?
45504What so unlike this idea as the fashionable votary, while she strangles and strains to get out of the superfine, creaseless kid cages?
45504Where is the mock modesty that dares to blush before these perfections?
45504Which feels the cold most, the Highlander with his kilt and bare legs, or the Sassenach with his drawers and breeches?
45504Which protects the nose most in a frost, a veil or a handful of snow rubbed briskly over that organ?
45504While, as for the next great naval engagement, when ironclad faces ironclad, what chance will they have for their lives?
45504Who is it by?
45504Who wants to see mice under petticoats?
45504Who, with poetry or taste, cares to see feet that can be compared to mice?
45504Why ca n''t you do it like this, now?''
45504Why not save our precious time for something so much more worthy of it-- the picture?
45504Why should we not correct our sketches-- done for the sake of the colour and feeling, and not for the form-- from faithful photographs?
45504Why?
45504Will my pain give me yours?
45504Would he be charmed with the colour of a mashed- up bit of flesh?
45504Would this man care to have a wife without a nose or with indefinite features?
45504Yet in the hands which have made it what it is, what may we, the lookers- on, not make out of it?
45504_ BEAUTY_ What is Beauty?
45504_"What is that horrid thing?"
45504do they add to the pleasure of the spectator, or instruct the worker by their pertness or sneers?
45504does mildew improve walls?
45504does rust assist the brightness of polished steel?
45504or do white ants strengthen the rafters they bed in?
45504the tinkle of the silver ornaments round the ankles of the dancers?
45504the voices of the singers?
45504what?

13296And Botticelli?
13296And are they any fairer to young talent than official critics?
13296And he adduced certain canvases painted with the misty- edged trees long before-- but why continue?
13296And is there more noble, more virile music in all art than The Surrender of Breda?
13296And the bull- fights?
13296And why not?
13296Balzac, and later Disraeli, asked:"After all, what are the critics?
13296Bles, for example, as seen in the Rijks Museum, is a fascinating subject to the student; but are we really looking at his work?
13296Bruges the Dead?
13296But are you the first to endure them?
13296But only this?
13296But understood?
13296But what can be said that is new about Rubens or Van Dyck?
13296But what of the remainder of this insignificant composition with its toad and cows, its meaningless landscape?
13296But where now is the painter critic and the professional critic?
13296But who shall pass judgment upon this unhappy man?
13296Can the record of criticism made by plastic artists show a generous Robert Schumann?
13296Did Hamerton see a fine plate?
13296Did any of the later Dutch conjurers in paint attain such transparency?
13296Do his friends not overdo their glorification, his critics their censure?
13296Does n''t the perverse clash in such a complex temperament give us exotic dissonances?
13296For sculpture is a static, not a dynamic art-- is it not?
13296Goethe, the imperial the myriad- minded Goethe, the apostle of culture, the model European man of the nineteenth century-- what of him?
13296Had he, Meryon, not written poems himself?
13296Had not the mighty Victor Hugo addressed flattering words to him?
13296Has any one so told the truth concerning the ex- seminarian, casuist, and marvellous prose writer of France?
13296Have they always-- as befits honest critics-- recognised the pupils of other men, pupils and men both at the opposite pole of their own theories?
13296Have you more genius than Chateaubriand and Wagner?
13296Have you seen his Spanish Dancers?
13296He painted the sparkle of the eyes and also the look in them, the challenging glance that asks:"Are we, too, not humans?"
13296He was fanciful rather than poetic, and the picture of Napoleon in hell enduring the reproaches of his victims( why should they be there?)
13296Heine in his Deutschland asks: Kennst du die Hölle des Dante nicht, Die schreckliche Terzetten?
13296How account for the violent changes in popular taste?
13296How can a critic criticise a creator?
13296How does he secure such intensity of pitch in his painting of atmosphere, of sunshine?
13296How many have realised the charm of the rear view of Santa Maria Salute?
13296How to persuade the patient to swallow the dose?
13296II Who was Herri met de Bles?
13296If Degas is an impressionist, pray what then is Monet?
13296If he did not believe, why should he have displayed such continual scorn?
13296If you painted like Monet, paralysis of the optical centre had set in-- but why continue?
13296Into what morgue fell John Martin before his death?
13296Is Saul smiling or crying behind the uplifted cloak?
13296Is all this nothing more than"distinguished"?
13296Is he contemplating in his neurasthenia an attempt on David''s life with a whizzing lance?
13296Is it necessary to add that the handling takes your breath away because of its consummate ease and its realisation of the effects sought?
13296Is it not dangerous to say of a genius that his work alone should count, that his life is negligible?
13296Is it not the last word of the art of Velasquez-- though it preceded The Maids?
13296Is it only a trick of the wrist, a deft blending of colours by this artist, who has been called, wrongfully-- the"Shakespeare of the brush"?
13296Is it young genius in the raw, awaiting the sunshine of success to ripen its somewhat terrifying gifts?
13296Is n''t Candida delicious in green, with black head- dress of lace-- isn''t she bewitching?
13296Is the absolute value of the parts in shadow lowered or raised?
13296Is the secret of the organ tone lost like the varnishing of Cremona fiddles and the blue of the old Delft china?
13296Is there any strain of tendency, any central current to be detected?
13296Is there no midway spot, no safety ground for that weary Ishmael the professional critic to escape being gored?
13296It is something, is it not, to evoke with needle, acid, paper, and ink the dualism of such a brain and temperament as was Renan''s?
13296Music?
13296Must we stop before Mabuse, or before the cattle piece of the Dutch school, seventeenth century?
13296Need we add that after the death of his father he soon wasted a fortune?
13296Need we add that this French author by no means sees Botticelli in the musical sense?
13296Need we say that Degas is a great wit, though not a writer; a wit and a critic?
13296Now, if there is a dark spot in a highly lighted subject it is the question, Who was the first impressionist?
13296Or is the exhibition a huge, mystifying_ blague_?
13296Or of his liver?
13296Or of his soul?
13296Rembrandt is unlike any other Dutch painter-- Hals, Vermeer, Teniers, Van der Heist-- what have these in common with the miller''s son?
13296Sattler, Charlet, Raffet, James Ensor, Rethel, De Groux, Rops, Edvard Münch( did you ever see his woman wooed by a skeleton?
13296Señor Sorolla is also one of the half- dozen( are there so many?)
13296Shelley?
13296Study that Boy With the Sword at the Metropolitan Museum-- is there anything superficial about it?
13296Style, character, paint quality, vision of the beautiful?
13296That fatal(?)
13296The American went to Daumier''s atelier, and seeing a picture on the easel, asked,"How much?"
13296The agony of the man( do you recall The Torture by Hope of Villiers de l''Isle- Adam?)
13296The poet of air, sunshine, and beautiful women-- can we ever forget his Jeanne Samary?
13296The revolt, the passion, the scorn, were they all the result of his health?
13296The spire of Notre Dame and the apsis may be seen up( or is it down?)
13296There is Rops, for example, whose etchings may be compared to Meryon''s; yet who except a few amateurs seeks Rops?
13296This is called_ dissociation_ of tones; and here is a new convention; why banish all save the spectrum?
13296To the layman who asked,"What is impressionism?"
13296To the painter the poet scornfully wrote:"You complain about attacks?
13296Under which king?
13296Was Botticelli a"comprehensive"--as those with the sixth or synthetic sense have been named by Lombroso?
13296Was Carrière a decorative painter by nature-- setting aside training?
13296Was n''t this the exhibition of which Albert Wolff wrote that some lunatics were showing their wares, which they called pictures, etc.?
13296Was not the spiritual impulse missing in this man?
13296What could be more tangibly massive than the plate called Breaking Up of the Hannibal?
13296What crimes were committed to merit such atrocious punishment?
13296What has sugar to do with sound?
13296What if they do not mean much?
13296What is the effect where considerable portions of the scene are suddenly thrown into marked shadow, as well as others illuminated with intense light?

13296What would he have said in the presence of this captivating evocation of a historic event?
13296Whatever is to become of poor Piranesi?
13296Where are the polished surfaces of the cultured studio worker; where the bric- a- brac which we inseparably connect with pseudo- Spanish art?
13296Where did he receive his artistic training?
13296Who can tell the renunciations made by the Frenchman in his endeavour to wrest the enigma of personality from its abysmal depths?

13296Will the eye ever tire of its glorious gloom, its core of tonal richness, its virile exaltation of everyday existence?
13296William Blake is in vogue; perhaps Martin--?
13296Would Baudelaire''s magic verse and prose sound its faint, acrid, sinister music if the French poet had led a sensible life?
13296Yet is Rodin justly appraised?

8536Avez- vous vu le château de Zahringen? 8536 But how am I to know that his head really aches?"
8536But what has he said to put you in such a state?
8536But what made you think I was ready to undertake such a pilgrimage?
8536Can you follow what is said by others?
8536Did you see I had joined the band of the rejected? 8536 Do you really still cherish hopes of that kind?"
8536Happy?
8536How has the cruising gone? 8536 I do n''t pretend to have genius; I never said I had; then why make it a reproach?"
8536Mais pourquoi? 8536 Talk?"
8536Then the parson he sighed in despair--''Where are my two pictures?--O where?'' 8536 What do they live upon then?"
8536What is her name?
8536What stonemason or bricklayer,said he,"would think of building his chimney before he had laid the first row of stones on the foundation?"
8536Where shall I hide?
8536Who_ is_ that gentleman?
8536Why did you tear that piece of paper?
8536Will you remember me to Mrs. Hamerton and your son? 8536 Would it not be better to ask another artist to undertake the remaining part?"
8536Wrong? 8536 You would like me to exaggerate, then?"
8536''Do you think it unusually good guide- book?''
8536''In what form?''
8536''What is the nature of the deed?''
8536... Then I was interrupted by--"I was sure of it; now_ what_ is wrong with it?"
8536And now what was to be done?
8536And why also those immense washing- basins?
8536At first I felt annoyed: what could be so strange about my person?
8536Aunt Mary, who was kept_ au courant_, wrote:"How can you, dear Philip Gilbert, find time to paint so much, and to write so much?"
8536Being obliged to take Mary to her last music- lesson, I asked Richard when I should see him again?...
8536Besides, who was to teach the boys when he was away?
8536But just might I delete two words in your testimonial?
8536But my husband?...
8536But where was I to go?
8536But who can tell?...
8536But why on earth do they spell Londres, London; Glascow, Glasgow; and Cantorbéry, Canterbury?
8536Ca n''t you whip better than that?
8536Can anything more conclusively prove the wonderful virtue of early hours and the healthy northern air?
8536Could I think of leaving him a prey to this terrible anxiety, and to all the dangers of a return of the old nervous attacks?
8536Could it be published in an incomplete state and called"The Upper Saône?"
8536Could your recommendation introduce me to an American publisher?
8536Did I not know by experience that the solitude of Loch Awe was delightful?
8536Did you ever see a drawing or an etching by Victor Hugo?
8536Do n''t you like it?
8536Does the reader perceive the impossibility?
8536Excuse my curiosity, but I should like to know how much you will have to pay for such a repast?"
8536For what had I ever said or done to deserve censure?
8536From West Lodge he wrote, in answer to one of my letters:--"Our present business is to look simply to the question, what will be most economical?
8536Have you been all over the house?
8536His mother asked what attracted his attention, and the child said,"Do n''t you see, mamma, the old gentleman who is sitting in that chair?"
8536How are your pictures progressing?
8536How is little Lala, lal, a, lala?
8536How should we get out of it, and when?...
8536How would''Modern Frenchmen''do?"
8536I asked, who could help the young students when they were in a fix?
8536I asked:''Quel chemin doit on prendre pour aller chez Monsieur Amertone, dans l''île d''Ineestreeneeche sur le lac Ave?''
8536I ca n''t eat all that, then why serve it me?...
8536In a letter to Miss Betham- Edwards he had said once:"Have you observed how_ very_ careful Tennyson has always been never to publish prose?
8536In answer to my suggestion that marriage would perhaps give him what he wanted, he had answered:"No doubt; but where shall I find the wife?
8536Is n''t it pleasant to have readers of that class?..."
8536Is not that jolly?
8536Mr. Hamerton and his wife will remain at the other end of the salon, behind your back; and what then if you break down?...
8536Mr. Seeley wrote:"Nature evidently intended you for a savage; how in the world did you come to be a literary man?
8536Must not my Paradise be a Paradise for any daughter of Eve?
8536Now you will certainly come and see me, wo n''t you?
8536Now, considering all this-- are you happy?"
8536On coming back into the house one morning, I met my father, who said,"Have you done your fifteen minutes?"
8536Or perhaps you would rather write an entirely new novel?
8536Roberts Brothers wrote:"We have been selling three thousand copies of''Human Intercourse;''does not that speak well for your popularity here?
8536Some one asked him if he had not the"Legion d''honneur"?
8536That was quite plain, was not it?...
8536The case is this: If you are fond of reading and have an evening at your disposal, you will wish to read, will you not?
8536The girl I introduce into society as_ my_ wife must be very beautiful, else what would society think of my taste as an artist?...
8536The rain might be troublesome and interfere with work, but were not the splendid colors of the landscape due to it?
8536Then how should we ever get home again?...
8536Then what was the use now of those empty cellars, dreary paved courtyard, and formal office?
8536Then why not omit the chapter altogether?
8536They also said:--"Suppose we should wish to bring out an edition of''Wenderholme''this autumn, would you abridge and rewrite it?
8536Was it my cold which made me dull and inattentive?
8536We had no pleasant associations there, having made no friends on account of our mourning-- why should we remain against our inclination?
8536What must Frenchmen think of you, in Paris and miserable?
8536What was to be done with the book?
8536What was to be done?
8536What were we to do?
8536Who betrayed him?...
8536Why had I put in such and such words of my own?
8536Why such a big house for two solitary beings?...
8536Will you kindly allow us to consult you in any legal difficulty?"
8536Young men both over- estimate and under- estimate their own gifts,--they do not know themselves, as indeed how should they?
8536and would he always find spare time to do it, and regular hours also?
8536and would they be always inclined to apply themselves steadily to their tasks without supervision?
8536ca n''t you?"
8536exclaimed the simple woman, with an air of consternation;"est- ce que vous n''êtes pas bien ici?"
8536he did not say much; only,''Lazarette, why will you scratch off the paint with the matches?''
8536he would fetch instantly what was required; or should I like something hot for my cold?''
8536pensez- vous donc que j''aie tout à fait la berlue pour n''avoir pas découvert de prime abord tout l''insidieux de votre proposition?
8536pourquoi vous en aller?"
8536she said;"and will your healths be able to stand the severity of the climate when you are no longer so young?
8536what must I do?''
8536where must I be?
8710After whom is the king of Israel come out?
8710Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here?

8710And Joab said unto the man that told him, And, behold, thou sawest him, and why didst thou not smite him there to the ground?
8710And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
8710And Joseph said unto his brethren, I am Joseph; doth my father yet live?
8710And Judah said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
8710And Laban said unto Jacob, Because thou art my brother, shouldest thou therefore serve me for naught?
8710And Naomi said, Turn again, my daughters: why will ye go with me?
8710And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?
8710And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Had Zimri peace, who slew his master?
8710And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee?
8710And he came unto his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I; who art thou, my son?
8710And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
8710And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side?
8710And he said unto me; Son of man, can these bones live?
8710And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungered, he, and they that were with him?
8710And he said unto them, How is it that, ye sought me?
8710And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
8710And he said unto them, What manner of man was he which came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8710And he said unto them, What things?
8710And he said, Art thou my very son Esau?
8710And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8710And he said, I know not Am I my brother''s keeper?
8710And he said, What hast thou done?
8710And he said, Who art thou, Lord?
8710And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?
8710And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith?
8710And he told it to his father and to his brethren; and his father rebuked him, and said unto him, What is this dream that thou hast dreamed?
8710And he trembling and astonished said, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?
8710And he, said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
8710And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou indeed reign over us?
8710And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?
8710And his sisters, are they not all with us?
8710And it came to pass that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me?
8710And it came to pass, when David had made an end of speaking these words unto Saul, that Saul said, Is this thy voice, my son David?
8710And seekest thou great things for thyself?
8710And she said unto him, How canst thou say, I love thee, when thine heart is not with me?
8710And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck?
8710And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?

8710And the Lord said unto Cain, Why art thou wroth?
8710And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?
8710And the Philistines called for the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the ark of the Lord?
8710And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?
8710And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine What is thy petition, queen Esther?
8710And the king said to him: Doth not Bel seem to thee to be a living God?
8710And the king said unto Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe?
8710And the king said unto him: Why dost thou not adore Bel?
8710And the king said, Is the young man Absalom safe?
8710And the king said: Are the seals whole, Daniel?
8710And their father said unto them, What way went he?
8710And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
8710And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?
8710And upon this came his disciples, and marveled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou?
8710And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, and said unto them, Why sleep ye?
8710And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep?
8710And when he was come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, Who is this?
8710And when the messengers turned back unto him, he said unto them, Why are ye now turned back?
8710And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us?
8710Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers?
8710Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
8710Behold now this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither( is it not a little one?)
8710But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me?
8710But he, willing to justify himself, said unto Jesus, And who is my neighbor?
8710For if a man find his enemy, will he let him go well away?
8710Hath no man condemned thee?
8710Her wise ladies answered her, yea, she returned answer to herself, Have they not sped?
8710If I should say, I have hope, if I should have a husband also to night, and should also bear sons; would ye tarry for them till they were grown?
8710If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted?
8710Is not this the carpenter''s son?
8710Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
8710Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
8710Nebuchadnezzar spake and said unto them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- nego?
8710Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
8710Seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day?
8710Shall we give, or shall we not give?
8710The mother of Sisera looked out at a window, and cried through the lattice, Why is his chariot so long in coming?
8710The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep from whence then hast thou that living water?
8710Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I?

8710Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?
8710Then the king Ahasuerus answered and said unto Esther the queen, Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?
8710When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman where are those thine accusers?
8710When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom of Israel?
8710Whence then hath this man all these things?
8710Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts?
8710Which now of these three, thinkest thou, was neighbor unto him that fell among the thieves?
8710Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
8710Who said, Canst thou speak Greek?
8710Why tarry the wheels of his chariots?
8710after whom dost thou pursue?
8710and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?
8710and it shall be granted thee: and what is thy request?
8710and why is thy countenance fallen?
8710are there yet any more sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?
8710did not I serve with thee for Rachel?
8710do not ye serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up?
8710is not his mother called Mary?
8710or shalt thou indeed have dominion over us?
8710or, Why talkest thou with her?
8710tell me, I pray thee; is there room in thy father''s house for us to lodge in?
8710tell me, what shall thy wages be?
8710that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
8710when he had wrought wonderfully among them, did they not let the people go, and they departed?
8710wherefore then hast thou beguiled me?
8710who?
8710wist ye not that I must be about my father''s business?
8710would ye stay for them from having husbands?
16917; they need ask only,Do I feel this?"
16917Are you forgetting about colour?
16917--than to ask and answer the question,"Do I feel this to be good or true or beautiful?"
16917And do not the Impressionists, with their power of creating works of art that stand on their own feet, bear in their arms a new age?
16917And during those long years how has Degas lived?
16917And if the form that provokes aesthetic emotion be form that expresses something, can it be that material beauty is to him expressive?
16917And ought we not to add that sometimes the sense of reality comes we know not whence?
16917And when it is for an emotional quality, to what extent is that emotion aesthetic?
16917And, if so, does he not perceive that he has given away his case?
16917Are they, or are they not, a signature?
16917Are we in the period of a new incubation?
16917Are we to suppose, then, that the artist feels, or sometimes feels, for material beauty what we feel for a work of art?
16917Are we to swallow it whole, accept a part of it, or reject it altogether?
16917Art, we hope, serious, alive, and independent is knocking at the door, and we are impelled to ask"What will come of it?"
16917As for the eggs,--why that''s God business: and who wants omelettes when he can have cooking?
16917Before we feel an aesthetic emotion for a combination of forms, do we not perceive intellectually the rightness and necessity of the combination?
16917Between Cézanne and another Tate Gallery, what lies in store for the human spirit?
16917But do n''t they come at it sometimes through imagined form?
16917But for objects seen as ends in themselves, do we not feel a profounder and a more thrilling emotion than ever we felt for them as means?
16917But how are our ediles to know whether a picture of a commoner, or of some inanimate and undistinguished object, by Degas or Cézanne is good or bad?
16917But how comes it that the art of one age differs from that of another?
16917But in expert conclaves who has ever heard more than a perfunctory and silly comment on the aesthetic qualities of a masterpiece?
16917But is pure form the only channel through which anyone can come at this mysterious emotion?
16917But is that so?
16917But what power was to destroy a machine that had enslaved men so completely that they dared not conceive an alternative?
16917But who can set a mark against the exact point of change?
16917But why is it impossible to make an absolutely exact copy?
16917But, after all, does it matter to me?
16917By what sign shall the public recognise the man of sensibility, always supposing that it is a man of sensibility the public wants?
16917By whom was it made?
16917Can it be that sometimes for the artist material beauty is somehow significant-- that is, capable of provoking aesthetic emotion?
16917Can we by any means thwart the parents, the teachers, and the systems of education that turn children into modern men and women?
16917Can we induce the multitude to seek in art, not edification, but exaltation?
16917Can we make them unashamed of the emotion they feel for the fine lines of a warehouse or a railway bridge?
16917Can we not all imagine the sort of man that would be chosen?
16917Can we save the artist that is in almost every child?
16917Can we say honestly that we feel one to be better than the other?
16917Could anything be more commonplace?
16917Do you think my men will get a single vote?
16917Does anyone feel the same kind of emotion for a butterfly or a flower that he feels for a cathedral or a picture?
16917Does he feel something behind it as we imagine that we feel something behind the forms of a work of art?
16917Does it seem to lose its value?
16917FOOTNOTES:[ Footnote 23: Need I say that this list is not intended to be exhaustive?
16917For how many years after the maturity of Cézanne will painters continue to produce chromophotographs?
16917For what, then, does the artist feel the emotion that he is supposed to express?
16917For whom was it made?
16917For, after all, what is a rose?

16917How many men of talent, and even of genius, have missed being effective artists because they tried to be something else?
16917How much did he pay?
16917How much will it fetch at Christie''s?
16917II ART AND SOCIETY What might Art do for Society?
16917If Mr. Moore is to infer the goodness of one state of mind from his feelings, why should not someone else infer the goodness of another from his?
16917In that moment has he not won from material beauty a thrill indistinguishable from that which art gives?
16917In the guise of what grisly and incomprehensible charlatan is art being presented to the people?
16917In the last part of this chapter, when I try to answer the question--"Why are we so profoundly moved by some combinations of lines and colours?"
16917Is Cézanne the beginning of a slope, a portent, or merely the crest of a movement?
16917Is bread good as an end or as a means?
16917Is it a new slope that we are on, or are we merely part of a surprisingly vigorous premonitory flutter?
16917Is it all the work of one hand?
16917Is it not simpler to use different words?
16917Is it possible that the answer to my question,"Why are we so profoundly moved by certain combinations of lines and colours?"
16917Is it too much to ask that others should be as honest about their feelings for pictures as I have been about mine for music?
16917Is life itself good as an end?
16917Let us ask ourselves, bluntly, can that which has no mind and affects no mind have value?
16917My lord is lascivious?
16917My lord is majestic?
16917Need I add that in the snuggest age of materialism great artists may arise and flourish?
16917On the bounty of the people who love all things beautiful, or on the intelligence and discrimination of a few rich or richish patrons?
16917Or is the new age born?
16917PICASSO 251 I WHAT IS ART?
16917Possibly; but dare one of you suggest that in competition with any rubbishy sensation- monger either of them will stand a chance?
16917Seriously, is the common- sense view ever the right one?
16917Shall he not give a hint as to the nature of his organisation, and ease the way for our aesthetic emotions?
16917Suppose the answer favourable, there remains another--"Is it genuine?"
16917Surely whoever appreciates a fine work of art may be allowed the exquisite pleasure of supposing that he has made a discovery?
16917THE METAPHYSICAL HYPOTHESIS[ Illustration: PERSIAN DISH, ELEVENTH CENTURY(?)
16917The question to be asked is--"Is this rare?"
16917They need not ask,"Did this happen?
16917This is the general question, which, you will find, divides itself into two sufficiently precise queries--"What will Society do with Art?"
16917Through what collections has it passed?
16917To him the question"Does this move me?"
16917To justify ethically any human activity, we must inquire--"Is this a means to good states of mind?"
16917To that how shall we assign a starting- point?
16917To the question--"Why are we so profoundly moved by certain combinations of forms?"
16917To understand completely the history of an age must we know and understand the history of its art?
16917Vitale, Ravenna_] I THE RISE OF CHRISTIAN ART What do I mean by a slope?
16917WHAT IS ART?
16917Was ever ideal so vulnerable?
16917We do not stay to inquire"What useful purpose does this serve, whom does it benefit, and how?"
16917What are the names of the figures portrayed?
16917What are their histories?
16917What becomes of it?
16917What becomes of the great scientific principle of water- tight compartments?
16917What becomes of the specialist?
16917What but that which philosophers used to call"the thing in itself"and now call"ultimate reality"?
16917What can it be but emotion?

16917What could it be?
16917What details are not irrelevant?
16917What else is there for them to follow?
16917What have all these tags of mythology and history, these pedagogic raptures and peripatetic ecstasies, to do with genuine emotion?
16917What is a tree, a dog, a wall, a boat?
16917What is being done to their native sensibilities by the earnest bear- leader with his( or her) catalogue of dates and names and appropriate comments?
16917What is it that distinguishes the creator from the copyist?
16917What is it that lurks behind forms and seems to be conveyed by them to us?
16917What is left to provoke our emotion?
16917What is that which is left when we have stripped a thing of all its associations, of all its significance as a means?
16917What is the justification of this classification?
16917What is the particular significance of anything?
16917What is the quality common and peculiar to all members of this class?
16917What is the significance of anything as an end in itself?
16917What is this mysterious thing that dominates the artist in the creation of forms?
16917What is this quality?
16917What is this that imitated forms lack and created forms possess?
16917What kind of form is that from which the musician draws the emotion that he expresses in abstract harmonies?
16917What of the builder''s?
16917What of those formidable compendiums in which the multitudinous activities of man are kept so jealously apart?
16917What quality is shared by all objects that provoke our aesthetic emotions?
16917What the style and cut of their coats, breeches, and beards?
16917What was the object of the potter''s emotion?
16917What would it profit him to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
16917What, then, is the conclusion of the whole matter?
16917When was it made?
16917Whence come the emotions of the architect and the potter?
16917Whence sprang that Hellenic impulse?
16917Where was it made?
16917Who has not, once at least in his life, had a sudden vision of landscape as pure form?
16917Who paid for it?
16917Why should artists bother about the fate of humanity?
16917Why should they bother to examine their feelings when for them to feel is enough?
16917Why should they stop to think when they are not very good at thinking?
16917Will they understand that, as a rule, the last to feel aesthetic emotion is the historian of art?
16917Yet how many of us can resist the malsane pleasure of puzzling over the past and speculating about the future?
16917_ Ariadne in Naxos._ Is Strauss, our one musician of genius, himself the pivot on which the wheel is beginning to swing?
16917and"What will Art do with Society?"
16917should be,"Because artists can express in combinations of lines and colours an emotion felt for reality which reveals itself through line and colour"?
16917why can not people who set themselves to be sound and honest remember that there are other things in life?
11391Are you waiting to be shaved, Sir?
11391Is it you, Harman?
11391And does it not at least_ hint_ of duties and affections towards the most deformed in body, the most depraved in mind,--of interminable consequences?
11391And here we would ask, Does not this striking exception in the present argument cast back, as it were, a confirmatory reflection?
11391And what is the inference?
11391And what is the inference?
11391And what was Rome then but the great University of Art, where all this accumulated learning was treasured?
11391And whence the conception of this mysterious character, but from its mysterious prototype, the Idea of the Infinite?
11391And whence this pertinacious faith that_ will_ not die, but from a spring of life, that neither custom nor the dry understanding can destroy?
11391And where is hatred deepest and deadliest?
11391And who that has a modicum of the imaginative would assert of one of Haydn''s Sonatas, that its effect on him was no other than sensuous?
11391And why else should all nations instinctively bow before the superior forms of Greece?
11391And why is this, but for the reason assigned in the preceding instance of a still- life picture?
11391And why?
11391And why?
11391And why?
11391And yet without the physical organ who can hold it?
11391Are they not rather more often vague, and only indicated in some_ undefined_ feeling?
11391Ay, how could we ever stand these but for that ideal panoply through which we feel only their modified vibrations?
11391But can it be so expressed?
11391But could he not obtain them without such aid?
11391But here it may be asked, How are we to distinguish an Idea from a mere_ notion_?
11391But here it may be asked, In what manner, if we resort not to actual portrait, is the Individual Man to be expressed?
11391But how can this be?
11391But how do we know that Beauty is limited to such exclusive relation?
11391But how do we obtain this mutual dependence?
11391But how have all these changes affected this_ visible image of Truth_?
11391But how is it then?
11391But is a precise object always necessary to the mind?
11391But is it not the business of the artist to touch the heart?
11391But is such exultation pleasure?
11391But may not men differ as to their impressions of truth?
11391But may not these tragic pleasures have their source in sympathy alone?
11391But should we, could we look into his heart?
11391But what is the truth of the Spirit but the Spirit itself,--the conscious_ I_?
11391But what will be the reply in regard to the Intellect?
11391But why should I seek one?
11391But why should the effect be different, except in degree, from the beauty of a human being?
11391But why talk of feeling, says the pseudo- connoisseur, where we should only, or at least first, bring knowledge?
11391But why, it may be asked, where the false predominates, do we still derive pleasure?
11391But will the same natural object, conveyed through these organs, leave the same impression?
11391Can we have a stronger case in point than that of the celebrated Wilkes, one of the ugliest, yet one of the most admired men of his time?
11391Could a more terrible distance be measured, than by these fearful words, between God and man?
11391Could any finite object account for this?
11391Could we stand in the presence of one of these holy beings,( if to stand were possible,) what of the Sublime in this lower world would so shake us?
11391Did they never feel its sublimity while they knew their danger?
11391Do we mean the understanding?
11391Does he ever descend from a higher assimilant to a lower?
11391Does he feel its truth?
11391Does he feel nothing more than the genial warmth?
11391Does not this undeniable fact, then, bring us to the fair conclusion, that the moral being has no genera?
11391Every one rhymes now- a- days, and so can I. Shall I write an Epic, or a Tragedy, or a Metrical Romance?
11391Finally, do we find it identified with the truth of the Spirit?
11391First, In what consists Moral Perfection?
11391For what answer can we give to the question, What is a Whole?
11391For what is Genius but the prophetic revealer of the unseen True, that can neither be purchased nor bribed into light?
11391For what is a perfect Intellect?
11391For who ever felt it in watching the progress of actual villany or the betrayal of innocence, or in being an eyewitness of murder?
11391From the view here presented, what is the inference in relation to Art?
11391Has human beauty, then, no power?
11391Here we are compelled to ask, What is understood by the mind?
11391How and why is this?
11391How are they affected, for instance, by a piece of Mozart''s?
11391How else can we account for those instantaneous sympathies and antipathies towards an utter stranger?
11391How else, for instance, can we account for a scene in nature, a bird, an animal, a human form, affecting us each in a similar way?
11391How is it, then, in the world of spirit?
11391How many things act upon us of which we have no knowledge?
11391How otherwise could such a being as Caliban ever be true to us?
11391How, then, can a man who has_ once_ sinned, and who has not of_ himself_ cleansed his soul, be fit for heaven where no sin can enter?
11391If it be further demanded, What is the minimum of truth in order to a pleasurable effect?
11391If man were a mere animal, though the highest animal, could these inscrutable influences affect us as they do?
11391In fortune I have a competence,--why not be as independent in mind?
11391In what form, then, shall we recognize it?
11391In what part, then, of man may this self- evidenced, yet elusive, Truth or power be said to reside?
11391Is it altogether out of experience?
11391Is it at all akin to what is recognized as pleasure even by this hardened wretch?
11391Is it reasonable, then, to suppose that any thing not immutable in its nature could possibly have withstood such continual fluctuation?
11391Is it the Dialectic, the Speculative, or the Imaginative?
11391Is it, then, in the mind?
11391Is this impossible?
11391Leaving this to have the weight it may be found to deserve, we turn to the original question; namely, What do we mean by Human or Poetic Truth?
11391Let us endeavour for one moment to conceive of this; does not the soul seem to dilate within us, and the body to shrink as to a grain of dust?
11391Let us suppose this form of hope to be taken away from an immortal being who has no self- satisfying power within him, what would be his condition?
11391May we not then infer a similar Principle without us, an Infinite Harmony, to which our own is attracted?
11391Might it not have been rather this sublime fascination?
11391Now have we at all times a distinct consciousness of the things referred to?
11391Now the question is, Where, and in what bias, is this mysterious attraction?
11391Now, could this difference be possible, were the sole cause, strictly speaking, in mere matter?
11391On which Prospero remarks,--"Hast thou, which art but air, a touch, a feeling Of their afflictions?"
11391Or in the moral principle?
11391Or who would ask for the_ story_ in one of our gorgeous autumnal sunsets?
11391Or, rather, would it not include them all?
11391Rainbow, are_ you_ the man?"
11391Shall we appeal to the artist?
11391Should we assume, then, the Correspondence as a primeval law, who shall gainsay it?
11391Still the question remains unanswered; and again we are asked, Why is it that our own works do not always respond with equal veracity?
11391Suppose him to have been born in Italy; would he go to Holland to realize his Idea?
11391The same might be said, also, in respect to the Beautiful: for who was ever alive to it under a paroxysm of terror, or pain of any kind?
11391Then, what directs the artist from one object to another, and determines him which to choose, if he has not the guide within him?
11391Then, what may follow?
11391Was it mere scientific curiosity that cost the elder Pliny his life?
11391Was it the_ truth_ of these objects that we there acknowledged?
11391We are now brought to the important question,_ Where_ and_ what_ is this reconciling ground?
11391Well, then, may he tremble to essay it even in thought; for where must it carry him,--that winged messenger, fleeter than light?
11391What are these wishes but unconscious retrospects to our primitive nature?
11391What but an intellectual brute could have uttered the imprecations of Caliban?
11391What could we feel but an agony even like that of the sufferer, the only difference being that one is physical, the other mental?
11391What even would Beauty be to the sated appetite?
11391What is the cause of my difficulty?
11391What possible resemblance can the understanding perceive between these sounds and colors?
11391What then becomes of the visionary virtues?
11391What, then, causes the difference, if it be not( as before observed) a peculiar something in the individual mind, that modifies the image?
11391What, then, constitutes its Perfection?
11391When we have basked in the beauty of a summer sunset, was there nothing in the sky that spoke to the soul of Truth and Goodness?
11391Whence the difference?
11391Where but to the confines of the Infinite; even to the presence of the unutterable_ Life_, on which nothing finite can look and live?
11391Where, then, shall we search for this mysterious ground but in the mind, since only there, as before observed, is this common effect known as a fact?
11391Who can answer?
11391Who can imagine the old age of the sun?
11391Who can look into the human eye, and doubt of an influence not of the body?
11391Who has ever seen the ocean in repose, in its awful sleep, that smooths it like glass, yet can not level its unfathomed swell?
11391Who, that has ever made a similar comparison, will expect to find them identical?
11391Why do we this?
11391Will any man say, that he is wholly without some natural or acquired bias?
11391Will any one assert that the surrounding inorganic elements of air, earth, heat, and water produce its peculiar form?
11391Will any one be truly affected by it?
11391Would it be possible for him to imagine what kind of animals they were?
11391Would not the animal appetites be our true and sole end?
11391Yet what do they understand of musical quantities, or of the theory of colors?
11391Yet who ever stopped to ask if he were a real being?
11391Yet who will assert that all men see, or, if they see, are impressed by these her attributes alike?
11391Yet, by what does he presume to judge of strangers?
11391and may we not further,--if we may so speak without irreverence,--suppose our own to have emanated thence when"man became a living soul"?
11391continued he,"my old classmate Rainbow turned slanderer?
11391or ascend that spire without feeling his faculties vanish, as it were with its vanishing point, into the abyss of space?
11391or rather, What are the characteristics that distinguish it from Nature, which it professes to imitate?
11391or would any one of them ascribe his pleasure to any thing but its form and plumage?
11391while to his living spirit that single word is all that is left him to fill the blank of space?
