Ancient Harmonies
In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to any nicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather
from the fault of our analysis than from any poverty native to the mind. And perhaps in aesthetics the reason is the same: those disclosures which seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps
only in the proportion of our ignorance; and those conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employ were yet, if we had the power to trace them to their
springs, indications of a delicacy of the sense finer than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature.
