Excerpt from The Keen Joy of Living What are the materials which have been given you? Imperfect health, faulty edu cation, a most uninspiring home, with such unsympathetic parents or sisters and brothers, very limited means, and a natu rally lazy temperament? I see you looking over at my bench and thinking that if you only had my material it would be easy for you to produce a beautiful life. Stop, you are wrong, the task is equally hard for every one of us in this great art studio, whether you think it or not. Your materials are pretty poor, I grant it, nearly as bad as my own. But, my dear sir or madam, that is to spur you to artistic achievement. None of the materials of true art are beauti ful to start with, otherwise there would be no credit in the artist's producing the grand result. Let your artist's pride awaken and make of these humdrum, unromantic life materials of yours a Messiah, a Sistine Madonna, a Twenty-third Psalm.
