Excerpt from Some Hints on Pattern-Designing
Such callousness is bad, both for the arts and our own selves; and therefore it is not so good to have the best art for ever under our eyes, though it is abundantly good that we should be able to get at it from time to time.

Excerpt from Some Hints on Pattern-Designing
I do not know a better way of getting at these Some Hints reasons than for each of us to suppose himself to on Patternx be in the room in which he will have to pass a good Designing part of his life, the said room being quite bare of ornament, to be there that he may consider what he can do to make the bare walls pleasant helpful to him; I say the walls, because, after all, thewidest use of patternxdesigning is the clothing of the walls of a room, hall, church, or what building you will Doubtless there will be some, in these days at least, who will say, "'Tis most helpful to me to let the bare walls alone." So also there would be some who, when asked with what manner of books they will furnish their room, would answer, With none But I think you will agree with me in thinking that both these sets of people would be in an unhealthy state of mind, and probably of body also; in which case we need not trouble ourselves about their whims, since it is with healthy sane people only that art has dealings.
Again, a healthy sane person being asked with what kind of art he would clothe his walls, might well answer, With the best art and so end the question Yet, out on it! so complex is human life, that even this seemingly most reasonable answer may turn out to be little better than an evasion.
