Excerpt from Gleanings in the Fields of Art The simpler and nearer to Nature daily life is, the easier it is for Use to take on the conditions of Beauty. The wig wam of the savage, the cottage of the peasant, are more often picturesque to the eye than the abode of the wealthy citizen. The bow and arrow of the Indian, the spear of the hunter, are far more picturesque than Colt's pistol or Sharp's ri¿e. Long ages have simplified it to this form of beauty. So we find a great charm in the common utensils of the older nations, especially of the Etruscans, whose very cook ing-pans seem to be poetic.
