“It is in the nature of allegory, as opposed to symbolism, to beg the question of absolute reality. The allegorist avails himself of a formal correspondence between “ideas” and “things,” both of which he assumes as given; he need not inquire whether either sphere is “real” or whether, in the final analysis, reality consists in their interaction.”
—Charles, Jr. Feidelson, U.S. educator, critic. Symbolism and American Literature, ch. 1, University of Chicago Press (1953)

“I had a classmate who fitted for college by the lamps of a lighthouse, which was more light, we think, than the University afforded.”

—Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

“Wherever art appears, life disappears.”
