Excerpt from An Address on Education N ow, let the same astonished and delighted spectator, with the same instruments, attempt to produce another statue from a similar block. On this side he scores too deep; on the other he leaves a protuberance; here by carelessness he encroaches on the rounded limb; there by accident he hews a chip from off the nose; by want of skill one eye ill-mates the other; one hand is distorted as if racked by pangs of the gout, the other is paralyzed and death-like. Such would be his signal failure. Thus he might fail a thousand times. Indeed it would be matter of strange surprise if in a thousand efforts he should once succeed. N ow the difference between the artist and the spectator lies chiefly in this, - the one knows beforehand what he means to do, the other works without any plan. The one has studied beauty till he can see it in the rugged block; the other only knows it when it is presented to him. The former having an ideal, produces it with unerring skill; the latter, having no conception to guide him, brings out deformity.
