The Hidden Sphere
(of Artistic Concerns) Cecil Orion Touchon

46
 
  
When the culture is in harmony 
the arts are  embodied in the objects of common use 
rather  than  prepared for the  museums. 
When the harmony is lost 
The  arts are subverted for  the use 
of propaganda and  manipulation. 

The greatest loss is the abandonment 
of the  natural. 
The greatest misfortune is the quest 
for fame and riches. 

The mastercraftsman finds fulfillment 
in his work rather than 
working to find fulfillment.
