Dear Shannon,

The artist is the creator of beautiful things.
To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim.
The critic is he who can translate into
another manner or a new material his impression
of beautiful things.
The highest as the lowest form of criticism is
a mode of autobiography.
Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things
are corrupt without being charming.
This is a fault.
Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful
things are the cultivated.
For these there is hope.
They are the elect to whom beautiful things
mean only beauty.
. . . . . . .
By OSCAR WILDE
From "The Picture of Dorian Gray",
The Preface, 1890
