Excerpt from Rambles in Merrie, Merrie England, Vol. 1: Glimpses of Its Castles, Its Cathedrals, Its Abbeys, Its Traditions, and Its Rural Life
Ruskin says of art: High art cousis neither in alter. Ing nor improving nature, but in seeking through nature for whatever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure; in loving these, in displaying to the utmost of the painter's power such loveliness as is in them, and directing the thoughts of Others to them by winning art or gentle emphasis.
Emerson says of nature: Nature is the incarnation of a thought. And turns to thought again. As ice becomes water and gas. The world is mind precipitated. And the volatile essence is forever escaping again into the state of free thought. Then says Sir john Lubbock: The hours when the mind is absorbed by beauty are the only hours when we really live, so that the longer we can stay among these things so much the more is snatched from inevitable Time.
