Page 65 - No great intellectual thing was ever done by great effort ; a great thing can only be done by a great man, and he does it without effort.
Page 46 - ... to represent past history. What do you suppose our descendants will care for our imaginations of the events of former days ? Suppose the Greeks, instead of representing their own warriors as they fought at Marathon, had left us nothing but their imaginations of Egyptian battles...
Page 47 - Shakspeare did perfectly what jEschylus did partially ; but none before Turner had lifted the veil from the face of nature ; the majesty of the hills and forests had received no interpretation, and the clouds passed unrecorded from the face of the heaven which they adorned, and of the earth to which they ministered.
Page 65 - The lifelong preparation. The truth is better indicated here than in this other sentence: "No great thing was ever done by great effort: a great thing can only be done by a great man, and he does it without effort."

Page 65 - On y trouve, à l'analyse, des qualités solides, une assise, un savoir, que bien peu d'impressionistes ont pu montrer dans leur art captivant mais vacillant, où la vibration chromatique trop souvent dévore les formes et détruit la stabilité de l'architecture du sol.
Page 49 - The secret of all realism, all "impressionism" proper, is contained in this — the very same which is unfolded by the early realists in splendid and imperious silence, and subsequently, in a clamorous and ostentatious fashion, by the modern French Impressionists. Sorolla, who proclaims it quietly and nobly in his painting, in our familiar talk assures me that its knowledge beat within him at all moments, just as rhythmical and constant as the beatings of his heart. "It came to me," he says, "together...
