58 THE MOTION PICTURE STORY MAGAZINE CARLASCIA UNDERSTANDS made quick gestures, like a bear, in his fur overcoat. Carlascia crouched, listening, in the open door. "Ecco! Luisina, little waiter," he panted, seizing the hands of Agostino, "I have the greatest of news." Carlascia folded his knife with a snap. He understood. "What cannot San Antonio accomplish ?" the Dottore shouted, as to heretics. "I have greatly interested the most illustrious of specialists in Tomasino. He is going to send him to the great hospital, all of glass, where the sun will bore into his lungs. Is it not stupendous?" Tomasino moved his hand along the bedclothes, as one brushing crumbs from a table, and laid it in the glove of Dottore Macchi. Luisa helped him to his feet, where he stood smiling at all of them. He understood. But one must be happy on feast-days. Great art is the expression of the mind of a great man, and mean art, that of the want of mmd in a mean man. A foolish person builds foolishly, and a wise one, sensibly ; a virtuous one, beautifully, and a vicious one, basely. So that when once you have learnt how to spell these most precious of all legends — pictures and buildings — you may read the characters of men and of nations in their art, nay, as in a microscope and magnified a hundredfold ; for the character becomes passionate in the art, and intensifies itself in all its noblest or meanest delights. — The Queen of the Air, Ruskin.
