Another difficulty in the way of those who write of their childhood is that unconscious artistry will steal or sneak in to erase unseemly lines and blots, to retouch, and colour, and shade and falsify the picture. The poor, miserable autobiographer naturally desires to make his personality as interesting to the reader as it appears to himself.
The trousers that were thrust into high laced boots were not so new as to attract undue attention, but they fitted him. The note of carelessness was maintained but with artistry to accentuate the extraordinary effect of physique and feature. He was eye-filling and rather splendid.
The cocktail that boon to all refined palates, when mixed with artistry and true poetic feeling circulates incognito at Herr Pohnstingl's.

Not so long as there are "re-write men" around the shop! It is not a lack of artistry that administers the most numerous defeats to the novice free lance. It is a lack of market judgment. When he has completed his manuscript he sits down and hopefully mails it out to the first market that strikes his fancy. He shoots into the dark, trusting to luck.
'Never mind, said Dick. 'Come on now. Back you go and stick it out. The second act of Madam Butterfly was in progress. With the sure touch of high artistry, both composer and librettist had delineated the result of Pinkerton's faithlessness a faithlessness that was obvious to every one but Cho-cho-san, who still believed that her husband would return with the roses. She knew it.
