Christianity Taught Men That Love Is Worth

The First Step To Be Taken By Everyone Who Wishes To Act Morally Is To Decide Not To Act According To The General Customs And Doings Of His Fellow-men.

There Is No Question That The Language Of "felt Thought" Must Be Quarried From Our Personal Depths. Like The Best Gold, It Does Not Lie On The Surface.

Art Is A Creative Effort Of Which The Wellsprings Lie In The Spirit, And Which Brings Us At Once The Most Intimate Self Of The Artist And The Secret Concurrences Which He Has Perceived In Things By Means Of A Vision Or Intuition All His Own, And Not To Be Expressed In Ideas And In Words-expressible Only In The Work Of Art.

Art And Poetry Cannot Do Without One Another. Yet The Two Words Are Far From Being Synonymous. By Art I Mean The Creative Or Producing, Work-making Activity Of The Human Mind. By Poetry I Mean, Not The Particular Art Which Consists In Writing Verses, But A Process Both More General And More Primary: That Intercommunication Between The Inner Being Of Things And The Inner Being Of The Human Self Which Is A Kind Of Divination (as Was Realized In Ancient Times; The Latin Vates Was Both A Poet And A Diviner). Poetry, In This Sense, Is The Secret Life Of Each And All Of The Arts.

Christianity Taught Men That Love Is Worth More Than Intelligence.
