Yet art is only the expression in outward and visible form of an inward and spiritual grace, the sacrament of the imagination. Art is an incarnation in colors or stone or music or words of some subtile essence which requires the embodiment.

"The most subtile diplomatist," thought Vivian, as he recalled to mind his own introduction, "would be puzzled to decide to which interest his Imperial Highness leans." The Grand Duke now entered into conversation with the Prince, and most of the circle who surrounded him.

If by some subtile alchemy the better qualities could be thrown down from the turbid and watery flux of his verse, we should have an admirable pocket-volume for the country; as it is, his books rest mostly on the shelves, and it requires a strong breath to puff away the dust that has gathered on the topmost edges.
