We Have No Other Means Of Recognising

It Would Follow That 'significant Form' Was Form Behind Which We Catch A Sense Of Ultimate Reality.

It Is The Mark Of Great Art That Its Appeal Is Universal And Eternal.............. Great Art Remains Stable And Unobscure Because The Feelings That It Awakens Are Independent Of Time And Place, Because Its Kingdom Is Not Of This World. To Those Who Have And Hold A Sense Of The Significance Of Form What Does It Matter Whether The Forms That Move Them Were Created In Paris The Day Before Yesterday Or In Babylon Fifty Centuries Ago? The Forms Of Art Are Inexhaustible; But All Lead By The Same Road Of Aesthetic Emotion To The Same World Of Aesthetic Ecstasy.

Art And Religion Are, Then, Two Roads By Which Men Escape From Circumstance To Ecstacy.

There Must Be Some One Quality Without Which A Work Of Art Cannot Exist; Possessing Which, In The Least Degree, No Work Is Altogether Worthless.

We All Agree Now - By 'we' I Mean Intelligent People Under Sixty - That A Work Of Art Is Like A Rose. A Rose Is Not Beautiful Because It Is Like Something Else. Neither Is A Work Of Art. Roses And Works Of Art Are Beautiful In Themselves.
