VOL. I
"If any man should be constantly penetrated with a gift bestowed on him, it is the artist who has realised as his share a genuine love for nature; for his enjoyment, if he puts his gift to usury, increases with the days of his life."
"Every man who has received a gift, ought to feel and act as if he was a field in which a seed was planted that others might gather the harvest."
FREDERIC LEIGHTON.
August 1852.
