Art is a
jealous mistress; and if a man have a genius for painting,
poetry, music, architecture or philosophy, he makes a bad
husband and an ill provider.

Each work of
art excludes the world, concentrates attention on itself.
For the time it is the only thing worth doing --to do just
that; be it a sonnet, a statue, a landscape, an outline head
of Caesar, or an oration. Presently we return to the sight
of another that globes itself into a whole as did the first,
for example, a beautiful garden; and nothing seems worth
doing in life but laying out a garden.
