[XI. The conscious Intellect the servant is of Art]
The conscious Intellect the servant is of Art,
The unconscious Phantasy performs the master's part.
The unconscious Phantasy performs the master's part.
Despite the helm and sail the vessel will not go,
Howe'er we strive, until the breath of heaven shall blow.
Howe'er we strive, until the breath of heaven shall blow.
Love is the only key of knowledge, as of Art,
Nothing is truly ours but what we learn by heart.
Nothing is truly ours but what we learn by heart.
