The art of art, the glory of expression and the sunshine of the light of letters is simplicity. nothing is better than simplicity....nothing can make up for excess of the lack of definiteness. To carry on the heave of impulse and pierce intellectual depths and give all subjects their articulations are powers neither common nor very uncommon. But to speak in literature with the perfect rectitude and insouciance of the movements of animals and the unimpeachablenes of the sentiment of trees in the woods and grass by the roadside is the flawless triumph of art. If you have looked on him who has achieved it you have looked on one of the masters of the artists of all nations and times.---Walt Whitman, who perfectly expresses my inarticulate awe in the midst of where I am fortunate enough to live.
