Famous quotes containing the word herbert:

    Sometimes Death, puffing at the doore,
    Blows all the dust about the floore:
    But while he thinks to spoil the room, he sweeps.
    Blest be the Architect, whose art
    Could build so strong in a weak heart.
    —George Herbert (1593–1633)

    The classicist, and the naturalist who has much in common with him, refuse to see in the highest works of art anything but the exercise of judgement, sensibility, and skill. The romanticist cannot be satisfied with such a normal standard; for him art is essentially irrational—an experience beyond normality, sometimes destructive of normality, and at the very least evocative of that state of wonder which is the state of mind induced by the immediately inexplicable.
    —Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
