elect of the race, its prophets, teach-
ers, artists, -- and every great artist is
also a prophet and teacher, -- are its
leaders, not its masters; its interpre-
ters, not its creators. The race is
dumb without its artists; but the
artists would be impossible without
the sustaining fellowship of the race.
In the making of the "Iliad" and
the "Odyssey" the Greek race was
in full partnership with Homer.
The ideas which form the summits of
human achievement are sustained by
immense masses of earth; the higher
they rise the vaster their bases. The
richer and wider the race life, the
freer and deeper the play of that vital
logic which produces the formative
ideas.
