His realism will never reach the height even of the sea-pieces of Courbet, and I shall include Ryder as well. Courbet was a fine artist, and so was Ryder, and both had the advantage of exceptional imagination. Homer and Ryder are natives of the same coast and typify excellently the two poles in the New England temper, both in art and in life.

That was only the first half the pupils' half. The rest is what I wanted you to hear the sea-pieces and the others. They are played by real musicians." "You goin' to do one?" asked Uncle William.
