We have a right to ask a work of art by what methods it claims to move us, by which side of our character it intends to interest and convince us.
Speech is external, and visible thought is the ambassadress of the intellect.
How should the invisible be visible when the visible is so little so!
One cannot be too careful of his articulation. The initial consonant should be articulated distinctly; the spirit of the word is contained in it.
Two things to be observed in the consonant: its explosion and its preparation. The t, d, p, etc., keep us waiting; the ch, v, j, prepare themselves, as: "vvvenez." The vocals ne, me, re are muffled.
