Leo Tolstoy Quotes

In The Entr'acte Levin And Pestsov Fell Into An Argument Upon The Merits And Defects Of Music Of The Wagner School. Levin Maintained That The Mistake Of Wagner And All His Followers Lay In Their Trying To Take Music Into The Sphere Of Another Art, Just As Poetry Goes Wrong When It Tries To Paint A Face As The Art Of Painting Ought To Do, And As An Instance Of This Mistake He Cited The Sculptor Who Carved In Marble Certain Poetic Phantasms Flitting Round The Figure Of The Poet On The Pedestal. "These Phantoms Were So Far From Being Phantoms That They Were Positively Clinging On The Ladder," Said Levin. [ ... ] Pestsov Maintained That Art Is One, And That It Can Attain Its Highest Manifestations Only By Conjunction With All Kinds Of Art.
