«(...) Yes, Art--that has of late become, as far as much discussion and writing can make it, a sort of common topic for the tea-table.

«To him her secrets are unfolded, to him her lessons have become gradually clear. He looks at he flower, not with the enlarging lens, that he may gather facts for the botanist, but with the light of the one who sees in her choice selection of brilliant tones and delicate tints, suggestions of future harmonies».
