A James Phrasis Recited

JAMES PHRASIS AN INMOST SOUL AGLOW Art,a universal spirit with many distinct manifestations with spontaneous productions. The human genius of inward attraction sheds divine splendour with infinite riches,to generate a ray of activity as an idea or conception in the mind.Art is positive,a substantive majesty, an inmost soul aglow.Served by nature,the menial of the artist furnishing his informing eye,smiles before the window of conception in the performers soul with the tender freshness of dawn.In a lingering glance using the fruits of imagination to admirable advantage to actualize an idea with human sweetness, pregnant with meaning,carrying the dew and fragrance of God into the commonest nook of daily life. from Lectures and Miscellanies by Henry James Listen to me recite this phrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
