The Amazon (Classic Reprint)Fb&c Limited, 2. 12. 2017 - Počet stran: 292 Excerpt from The Amazon Between the two there lies an immense space. No doubt the narrator, more especially the epic poet and his half-brother the novelist, must above all things be true to nature but he, too, like every man who aspires to a place in the temple of Art, must strive after a higher truth than the grossly sensual, and never forget that Art, if transplanted into the domain of ugliness, can no more put forth blossoms than the palm can amidst snow and ice. The Beautiful IS the native soil, the vital air, the sunshine and the rain of Art. Without beauty no work Of art can exist; thus, though naked Realism may pro duce clever art-manufactories, it can never produce a genuine work of art.
