Def. Art: the process of making Quality choices for the sake of Quality as
an end in itself.
And Art is one of those "rta" words. It is the process of making right
choices for the same of rightness, for the sake of rightness as an end in
itself. Art is rightness, captured and displayed (which makes print as good
a way to display the rightness as the original itself, if you ask me, though
it is it is right in other ways to prize the original.)
I love the idea of diong right for rightness's sake, or quality for
quality's sake, or love's for love's sake. Hey that's another opportunity
to copy my favorite poem to end all poems:
If thou must love me..
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
If thou must love me, let it be for nought
Except for love's sake only. Do not say
`I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way
Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought
That falls in well with mine, and certes brought
A sense of pleasant ease on such a day'
For these things in themselves, Beloved, may
Be changed, or change for thee,--and love, so wrought,
May be unwrought so. Neither love me for
Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry,
A creature might forget to weep, who bore
Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby!
But love me for love's sake, that evermore
Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity.
