Lord Free Me Of Myself, So I

Sculpture Is Made By Taking Away, While Painting Is Made By Adding.

The Idea Is There Locked Inside. All You Have To Do Is Remove The Excess Stone.

Poets And Painters Have The Power To Dare, I Mean To Dare To Do Whatever They May Approve Of.

Perchance That I Might Learn What Pity Is, That I Might Laugh At Erring Men No More.

The Best Of Artists Hath No Thought To Show Which The Rough Stone In Its Superfluous Shell Doth Not Include; To Break The Marble Spell Is All The Hand That Serves The Brain Can Do.
