“Art is the highest expression of all the age. Sent out from its first source into material channels of physical existence —not the possession of the transmitting source at all. Yet something has to be eulogised, laurel-crowned. The work being longer lived needed no compensation, but the worker must have same personal acknowledgment of merit. Art persists as a reproduction, not as a recreation, seeming to imply that somewhere behind it a force exists which intends it to persist, and brings it to light under certain conditions in every generation: The truth is that very few people ever think. They imagine that the little scatter-brained attention they pa!y to subjects or occurrences means though, but it doesn’t.” —“The Ink-Slinger.”
