Synopsis
Excerpt from Tales From Ten Poets: In Three Books
There is a deep-grained love in humanity for a story pure and simple. The fireside gossip who dishes up the sweet morsels of the past, has little art at his command. He can give nothing save the bare skeleton of a tradition, a tragedy, or a bit of drollery. His are the broadest and ruggedest of touches, and he has gained his end and pleased his audience if he has only sketched, in boldest outline, facts whose interest lies solely in themselves and their relative arrangement.
Art, however, is quite another and a nobler thing. The simple facts which jut up from human intercourse like rough boulders, become, after 'a while, covered and softened with the foliage and minute mosses of art. The prosaic outlines pass away into something no less true, but lovelier and finer. The rock beneath gives endurance. The grass above brings appealing beauty, and this renders the endurance forever precious.
