Poesin är språket; det retoriska, det måleriska, det skulpturala, det arkitektoniska; språket kan ljuda med autentisk klar klangbotten eller förställas till smickrande sentimentalitet, eller propagera för lögner och klinga falskt.
Metaforer utgör språket, och språkets gestaltning tar nya former över tid, men källan är densamma; människohjärtats skaparkraft som uppenbarar verkligheten

As a literature student, not an art historian,I disagree with some of his more brief social statements about art as a medium of expression. But this was an interesting whirlwind tour of western art and I definitely learnt a lot!
