MODERN PAINTERS.

VOLUME II.,

CONTAINING

PART III.,

SECTIONS I. AND II.

Of the Imaginative and Theoretic Faculties

BY JOHN RUSKIN, LL.D.,

1

AUTHOR OF "THE STONES OF VENICE," ETC., ETC.

Of arrogance,

"Accuse me not

If, having walked with Nature,

And offered, far as frailty would allow,
My heart a daily sacrifice to Truth,
I now affirm of Nature and of Truth,

Whom I have served, that their Divinity
Revolts, offended at the ways of men.
Philosophers, who, though the human soul
Be of a thousand faculties composed,

And twice ten thousand interests, do yet prize
This soul, and the transcendent universe
No more than as a mirror that reflects

To proud Self-love her own intelligence."

WORDSWORTH.
