AN UNANSWERED QUESTION 335 



something above the arts, which will satisfy the 

 creative powers, ■ the desire of self-expression. 



What then would take the place of art, all the 

 world made in a certain form, if art should die out ? 

 How would the sense of beauty, and the desire to 

 express emotion that it creates, be expressed at last ? 

 That is a question which directly rises out of the 

 one under consideration, but again it is a new question 

 and the discussion would be a long one, too long for 

 this book, which must now come to an end. No 

 sooner have I finished a book, than I come, rover-like, 

 to hate it : a proper instinct.
