But if Mr Smith has entered public affairs in pursuit of static formulæ for dynamic realities, if he wants things fixed and frozen and final, he has come to the wrong world to gratify such desires.

Such are the material goods that they enjoy in common, like the home with its comforts and the means of support upon which they all rely.
There must be no set, rigid, static condition of the muscles. Artistic singing is a form of self-expression; and self-expression, to be natural and beautiful, must be the result of correct position and action. The first principle of artistic singing is the removal of all restraint. This is a fundamental law of Nature and cannot be changed.
