His _practical_ answer to their questioning being as follows:--"You are indeed, many of you, as clever as I am; but this, which you think a secret, is only the result of sincerity and toil. If you have not sense enough to see this without asking me, you have not sense enough to believe me, if I tell you. True, I know some odd methods of coloring. I have found them out for myself, and they suit me. They would not suit you. They would do you no real good; and it would do me much harm to have you mimicking my ways of work, without knowledge of their meaning. If you want methods fit for you, find them out for yourselves. If you cannot discover them, neither could you use them." [3] It is strange that the last words Turner ever attached to a picture should have been these:-- "The priest held the poisoned cup." Compare the words of 1798 with those of 1850. [4] Compare Matt. xxiv. 30. [5] Ps. xlviii. 2.--This joy it is to receive and to give, because its officers (governors of its acts) are to be Peace, and its exactors (governors of its dealings), Righteousness.--Is. lx. 17.
