Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful we must carry it with us or we find it not. We are symbols, and inhabit symbols. In skating over thin ice, our safety is in our speed. With consistency a great soul has simply nothing to do. If a man write a better book, preach a better sermon, or make a better mouse-trap than his neighbor, tho' he build his house in the woods, the world will make a beaten path to his door.
Fine art is that in which the hand, the head, and the heart of man go together.
