It is with art as with love: How can a man of the world,with all his distractions, keep the inwardness which an artist must possess if he hopes to attain perfection? That inwardness which the spectator must share if he is to understand the work as the artist wishes and hopes...

And they are only recognized and rewarded when we have practised them in secret, like a dangerous mystery."
