To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThose who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe nineteenth century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.","brand":"Uplifting Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47167667765488,"sku":"2940012164971","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940012164971_p0.jpg?v=1763552804","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940012164971","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
