The Highest Art Involves the High,
est Morality.

But it does 80 only sen pursued for
its own sake. The art. swho attempts
to make hia art subservient to some
moral purpose is in no true sense Of the
word an artist. He commits sin
against Nature. And his morality Will
be in consequence weak. superficial,
valueless. Whilst, on the other hand,
the artist, who doyotes himself thereto
with loving singlenesa Of purpose, can
not fail TO exercise the most beneficial
influence on morality. And for tkis
reason; that The aims OF both morality
and art are iRdentical, namely, the True
and the Beautiful. And Il this be 30.
I IL is impossible for the devoted artist to
sin against objective morality, however
much he may violate its conventional
canons. OF. the truth Of this statement
Shakespeare offers the most conspicuous
example. In him there is no certain
trace Of auglt other than the artist.

dent1y studied medicine. Thq real
truth is, that he vas simply oonsum-
mate artist, 20 whom, having the inspi-
ratiop Of art, all other thingaverea added.
And yet where Is the guardian Of public
morality, bsahe bishop or magistrate.
