Not illustrated. 1905 Excerpt: .of Nature was a disturbing element in imaginative art. To him we owe poetry the perfect precision of which, and the clearness of word and vision, have not been excelled in the literature of our countryGreat eras in the history of arts have been eras not only of increased feeling, but also of new technical improvements. The revolution in modern music has been due to the invention of new instruments entirely. The artist may trace the depressed revolution of Bunthorne simply to the lack of technical means. So it has been with this romantic movement of ours. The painting of BurneJones shows a far more intricate wonder of design and splendour of colour than English imaginative art had ever shown before. The poetry of Morris, Rossetti and Swinburne shows a sustaining consciousness of the musical value of each word which Theophile Gautier's advice to the young poet, to read his dictionary every day as being the only book worth-'a poet's reading, admirably expresses. And yet, what people call the poet's inspiration has not lost its wings; but we have accustomed ourselves to count their innumerable pulsations, to estimate their limitless strength, and to govern their ungovernable freedom. THE CHOICE OF SUBJECTS. And now I would point out to you the operation of the artistic spirit in the choice of subject. Like the philosopher of the platonic vision, the poet is the spectator of all time and all existence. For him no form is obsolete, no subject out of date; rather, whatever of life and passion the world has known in the desert of Judea or in Arcadian valley, by the ruins of Troy or Damascus, in the crowded and hideous streets of the modern city, or by the pleasant ways of Camelot, all lies before him like an open scroll, all is still instinct with beautiful life.
