Every man who is not an artist is a traitor to his own nature.
As a man is, so he sees. As the eye is formed, such are its powers.

First thought is best in Art, second in other matters.
Rome & Greece swept Art into their maw & destroy'd it; a Warlike State never can produce Art. It will Rob & Plunder & accumulate into one place, & Translate & Copy & Buy & Sell & Criticize, but not Make.
