“When men are rightly occupied, their amusement grows out of their work, as the colour-petals out of a fruitful flower; when they are faithfully helpful and compassionate, all their emotions become steady, deep, perpetual, and vivifying to the soul as the natural pulse to the body. But now, having no true business, we pour our whole masculine energy into the false business of money-making; and having no true emotion, we must have false emotions dressed up for us to play with, not innocently, as children with dolls, but guiltily and darkly.” MenChildrenSoulPlayWholeBodyEnergyGrowsNaturalEmotionFlowerMaking MoneyColourHelpfulCompassionateSteadyPerpetualMasculineAmusementPulseDollsPetalsDressed UpTrue Emotions Book:The Genius of John Ruskin: Selections from His Writings Source: The Genius of John Ruskin: Selections from His Writings

“Men of superior vivacity and wit, when they take a wrong turn, are generally worse than other men: because wit, consisting in a lively representation of ideas assembled together, gives every sensible object those heightening touches, and that striking imagery, which is unknown to men of slower apprehensions: wit being to sensible objects, what light is to bodies; it does not merely show them as they are in themselves: it gives an adventitious colour, which is not a property inherent in them: it lends them beauties which are not their own.” MenGivingDoeIdeasShowsBodyLightTogetherTurnsObjectsPropertyWitSuperiorsColourSensibleInherentRepresentationImageryLivelyApprehensionWrong TurnVivacity Author:Jeremiah Seed
