More quotes by Sir Archibald Alison, 2nd Baronet
The exercise of criticism always destroys for a time our sensibility to beauty by leading us to regard the work in relation to certain laws of construction. The eye turns from the charms of nature to fix itself upon the servile dexterity of art.
Sir Archibald Alison, 2nd Baronet
Taste is, in general, considered as that faculty of the human mind by which we perceive and enjoy whatever is beautiful or sublime in the works of nature or art.
Sir Archibald Alison, 2nd Baronet
