Pagina 7 - ... that great deep sea of azure that swims overhead ; the winds sweeping through it; the black cloud fashioning itself together, now pouring out fire, now hail and rain ; what is it ? Ay, what ? At bottom we do not yet know ; we can never know at all. It is not by our superior insight that we escape the difficulty ; it is by our superior levity, our inattention, our want of insight. It is by not thinking that we cease to wonder at it.
Pagina 32 - One should not study contemporaries and competitors, but the great men of antiquity, whose works have, for centuries, received equal homage and consideration. Indeed, a man of really superior endowments will feel the necessity of this, and it is just this need for an intercourse with great predecessors, which is the sign of a higher talent. Let us study Moliere, let us study Shakspeare, but above all things, the old Greeks, and always the Greeks.
Pagina 27 - If it is true," Lessing wrote in Laocoon, "that painting and poetry in their imitations make use of entirely different means or symbols— the first, namely, of form and color in space, the second of articulated sounds in time— if these symbols indisputably require a suitable relation to the thing symbolized, then it is clear that symbols arranged in juxtaposition can only express subjects of which the wholes or parts exist in juxtaposition; while consecutive symbols...
Pagina 26 - Then beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity, — I mean the true simplicity of a rightly and nobly ordered mind and character, not that other simplicity which is only an euphemism for folly?
Pagina 7 - This green flowery rock-built earth, the trees, the mountains, rivers, many-sounding seas; — that great deep sea of azure that swims overhead; the winds sweeping through it; the black cloud fashioning itself together, now pouring out fire, now hail and rain : what is it ? Ay, what ? At bottom we do not yet know ; we can never know at all.
Pagina 11 - People always fancy that we must become old to become wise; but, in truth, as years advance, it is hard to keep ourselves as wise as we were.
Pagina 50 - A discussion of the /whole problem of moral education : its aim in relation to our society and all the means through which that aim can be attained. "It is easily the best book of its kind yet written in America." — The Literary Digest. "Edward Howard Griggs has written a notable book on 'Moral Education...
Pagina 6 - You remember that fancy of Plato's, of a man who had grown to maturity in some dark distance, and was brought on a sudden into the upper air to see the sun rise.
Pagina 6 - For, to speak out once for all, man only plays when in the full meaning of the word he is a man, and he is only completely a man when he plays.
Pagina 32 - Any one who is sufficiently young, and who is not quite spoiled, could not easily find any place that would suit him so well as a theatre. No one asks you any questions ; you need not open your mouth unless you choose ; on the contrary, you sit quite at your ease like a king, and let everything pass before you, and recreate your mind and senses to your heart's content. There is poetry, there is painting, there are singing and music, there is acting, and what not besides.
