“We are all capable of appreciating beauty as it appeals to sound or sight, and whether we love the best, or are satisfied with the second best, will depend very much on what forms or types of beauty were held up to our awakening intelligence. Beauty and Simplicity have ever walked hand in hand, and a little child may enter the kingdom of Art as readily as the kingdom of Heaven. The greatest things are not those most difficult to grasp. Little ears may be attuned to catch the harmony of which the poets sing, underlying all manifestations of Art, for—

‘One music maketh its occult abode
In all things scatter’d from great beauty’s hand;
And evermore the deepest words of God
Are yet the easiest to understand.’—Wm. Watson.”

(Mrs. Howard Glover, PR59, “Our Relations With Music and Art”)
