Página 166 - I was so enthusiastically delighted and inspired. My earliest acquaintances will not have forgotten the undisciplined eagerness and impetuous zeal, with which I laboured to make proselytes, not only of my companions, but of all with whom I conversed, of whatever rank, and in whatever place. As my school finances did not permit me to purchase copies, I made, within less than a year and a half, more than forty transcriptions, as the best presents I could offer to those, who had in any way won my regard.
Página 193 - Let us admire, for instance, the admirable, though somewhat negative, qualities in the work of Mr. Lewis — the absence of vulgarity and false sentiment, the sobriety of colour, the painstaking search for design — without forgetting that in the Salon d'Automne or the Salon des Independants a picture by him would neither merit nor obtain from the most generous critic more than a passing word of perfunctory encouragement...
Página 175 - Till now, I was acquainted only with two ways of criticising a beautiful passage: the one, to show, by an exact anatomy of it, the distinct beauties of it, and whence they sprung ; the other, an idle exclamation, or a general encomium, which leaves nothing behind it. Longinus has shown me that there is a third. He tells me his own feelings upon reading it ; and tells them with such energy...

Página 150 - You may dine at any of the half-dozen "smartest" restaurants in London, pay a couple of pounds for your meal, and be sure that a French commercial traveller, bred to the old standards of the provincial ordinary, would have sent for the cook and given him a scolding.
Página 216 - ... impudence which rags. . . . After impudence comes the determination to surprise : you shall not be gradually moved to the depths, you shall be given such a start as makes you jigger all over. . . . . . . Its fears and dislikes — for instance, its horror of the noble and the beautiful are childish; and so is its way of expressing them. Not by irony and sarcasm, but by jeers and grimaces, does Jazz mark its antipathies. Irony and wit are for the grown-ups. Jazz dislikes them as much as it dislikes...
Página 215 - ... Appropriately it (the jazz movement) took its name from music — the art that is always behind the times. Impudence is its essence — impudence in quite natural and legitimate revolt against nobility and beauty: impudence which finds its technical equivalent in syncopation: impudence which rags. After impudence comes the determination to surprise: you shall not be gradually moved to the depths, you shall be given such a start as makes you jigger all over. "Its fears and dislikes — for instance,...

Picasso is a born chef d'ecole. His is one of the most inventive minds in Europe. Invention is as clearly his supreme gift as sensibility is that of Matisse.

He will be reared, probably, in an atmosphere where all thought that leads to no practical end is despised, or gets, at most, a perfunctory compliment when some great man who in the teeth of opposition has won to a European reputation is duly rewarded with a title or an obituary column in The Times.
