Page 294 - He in whom the love of repose predominates will accept the first creed, the first philosophy, the first political party he meets, — most likely his father's. He gets test, commodity, and reputation ; but he shuts the door of truth.
Page 413 - The grand power of poetry is its interpretative power ; by which I mean, not a power of drawing out in black and white an explanation of the mystery of the universe, but the power of so dealing with things as to awaken in \. us a wonderfully full, new, and intimate sense of them, <C and of our relations with them.
Page 97 - From seventeen years till now almost fourscore Here lived I, but now live here no more. At seventeen years many their fortunes seek, But at fourscore it is too late a week: Yet fortune cannot recompense me better Than to die well and not my master's debtor.

A brain that is devoted to mere inhibition becomes, in very truth, like the brain of a Hindoo ascetic — a mere " parasite " of the organism, feeding, as it were, upon all the lower inherited or acquired nervous functions of this organism by devoting itself to their hindrance. In persons of morbidly conscientious life such inhibitory phenomena may easily get an inconvenient, and sometimes do get a dangerous intensity. The...

Achilles, and Siegfried, and King Arthur, are historical personages as much as, and no more than, the woods and fountains are the habitation of dryads and water spirits. The original historian and the original man of science was alike the poet. Before the art of writing was invented exact knowledge was impossible.

Page 295 - For fear of being misunderstood, I hasten to say that this beneficent result of scientific training does not come to all those who cultivate it, any more than is the Christ-like character developed in all those who profess Christianity. I regret to say that even some who bear great names in science have been as dogmatic as the most rampant theologian. But the dogmatic scientist and theologian are not to be taken as examples of the "peaceable fruits of righteousness," for the general ameliorating...
Page 188 - ... prepared him, have a fuller life than did the old watchmaker who made a watch from beginning to end. . . . When all the young people working in factories shall come to use their faculties intelligently, and as a matter of course be interested in what they do, then our manufactured products may at last meet the demands of a cultivated nation, because they will be produced by cultivated workmen. The machine will not be abandoned by any means, but will be subordinated to the intelligence of the...
Page 8 - Art is not an outer product nor an outer behavior. It is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind — one which demands for its own satisfaction and fulfilling a shaping of matter to new and more significant form. To feel the meaning of what one is doing and to rejoice in that meaning, to unite in one concurrent fact the unfolding of the inner emotional life and the ordered development of material external conditions — that is art.
Page 8 - Play as work, as freely productive activity, industry as leisure, that is, as occupation which fills the imagination and the emotions as well as the hands, is the essence of art. Art is not an outer product nor an outer behavior. It is an attitude of spirit, a state of mind — one which demands for its own satisfaction and fulfilling a shaping of matter to new and more significant form.
