Excerpt from Journalism Versus Art, 1916 This was the philosophy of aesthetics at which I had abstractly arrived when I was elected, upon quite other grounds, to become the editor and general care-taker Of a magazine whose pictorial destinies were to be jealously watched over by a group Of revolutionary artists. It was a philosophy which did not seriously unfit me for that responsible honor, because it was SO largely a mere liberation from un fruitful definitions. But Still it was a philosophy, and I am sure that if I had been suspected Of possess ing such a thing, or Of harboring however darkly in my memory twenty-three definitions of beauty, I would never have been elevated to that precarious post. It was as a Simple rustic, acquainted only with some small matters Of politics and literature, that I was designated by these artists to see that the spaces between their pictures were filled in with ade quately revolutionary reading matter.
