Imagination runs on other lines and requires stimulants; there is no stillness of mind in which the perception of beauty and harmony and fitness can grow up.
There are others--may they be few--in whose minds there is little room for anything but success.

Utilitarians in social life, their determination is to get on, and this spirit pervades all they do; it has the making of the hardest-grained worldliness: to these art has nothing to say.

But there are others to whom it has a definite message, and their response to it corresponds to various schools or stages of art.

There are some who are daring and explicit in their taste; they resent the curb, and rush into what is extravagant with a very feeble protest against it from within themselves.

Beside them are simpler minds, merely exuberant, for whom there can never be enough light or colour in their picture of life.
If they are gifted with enough intelligence to steady their joyful constitution of mind, these will often develop a taste that is fine and true.
