Art has to reveal to us ideas, formless spiritual
essences. The supreme question about a work of art is out of how deep a life it
spring. The painting of Gustave Moreau is the painting of ideas. The deepest
poetry of Shelley, the words of Hamlet bring our mind into contact with the
eternal wisdom, Plato's world of ideas. All the rest is the speculation of
schoolboys for schoolboys.
