Eliot Phrasis Quartet Recited Part 4
ELIOT PHRASIS 1V
Truth in art,so startling, no novelty
of mere form,reality instead of
beautiful illusion.Impressions of
various kinds,a sense of sure silence
forms the solemnity of arrested life.
Struggles from some world unseen,
a glimpse of broken grandeur,in
transcendant beauty.A quiet conviction
in benevolent calm.Such rewards
of the artist lie apart from everything,
narrow and personal,the final
animation,a lesson thoroughly learned,
another sort of sweetness.
From George Eliot Journal& Letters 1885
Listen to me read this phrasis quartet on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
