"Owen
Warland...looked placidly at what seemed the ruin of his life's labor,
and which yet was no ruin. He had caught a far other butterfly than
this. When the artist rose high enough to achieve the Beautiful, the
symbol by which he made it perceptible to mortal senses became of
little value in his eyes, while his spirit possessed itself in the
enjoyment of the Reality."
-The Artist of the Beautiful,
by Nathaniel Hawthorne
