Truth in art is not any correspondence between
the essential idea and the
accidental
existence; it is not the
resemblance of shape to shadow, or of the form mirrored in the crystal to
the form itself; it is no echo coming from a hollow hill, any more than
it is a silver well of water in the valley that shows the moon to the
moon and Narcissus to Narcissus.

I' mi volgea per veder ov' io fosse,
quando una voce disse <>,
che da ogne altro intento mi rimosse;
e fece la mia voglia tanto pronta
di
riguardar
chi era che parlava,
che mai non posa, se non si raffronta.

Pushkin - Talisman |

Three men I saw advancing up the vale,
Mangled with ghastly wounds through plate and mail;
Dentatus, long in
standing
fight renown'd,
Sergius and Scaeva oft with conquest crown'd;
The triple terror of the hostile train,
On whom the storm of battle broke in vain.
