[140] Goethe, _Dichtung und Wahrheit_, iii. p. 132. This instance has
been adduced by Professor Julius Lange in support of his emotionalistic
art-theory; _Om Kunstvœrdi_, pp. 72-84.
[141] Wallaschek, _Mind_, N.S. iv. p. 34, “On the Difference of Time
and Rhythm in Music;” Bücher, _Arbeit und Rhythmus_, p. 306.
[142] Cf. Emmanuel, _La danse grecque antique_, p. 127.
[143] Cf. Creuzer, _Symbolik und Mythologie_, iii. p. 155; Ruskin
avails himself of the same allegory in _The Queen of the Air_, pp.
66-70.
[144] _Revue Critique_, 1896, ii. pp. 386, 387; cf. also Groos, _Die
Spiele der Menschen_, pp. 110, 476.

Emmanuel, _La danse grecque antique_, pp. 102, 196-198, 302, 303.
[147] Michelet, _La Sorcière_, p. 80.
[148] Cf. for example, Dyer, _Gods in Greece_, pp. 114-117.
[149] Cf. Brown, _The Fine Arts_, pp. 22-35, 41-70; and Hill in _Pop.
Sc. Monthly_, vol. xlii. pp. 734-749.
[150] Rapp, _Rheinisches Museum_, xxvii. p. 2 (“Die Mänade im
griechischen Cultus”).
[151] Rohde, _Psyche_, pp. 331, 343.
[152] Nietzsche, _Die Geburt der Tragödie_, pp. 6, 7.
[153] A detailed treatment of gracefulness in art and life has been
given by the author in _Förstudier till en konstfilosofi_, pp. 132-147.
[154] Cf. Holz, _Die Kunst_, p. 117. It is only fair to add that in
their own novels the authors of this school have involuntarily failed
to support their theoretical principles.
[155] Cf. chap. i.
[156] Cf. Taine, _Philosophie de l’art_, pp. 72, 73.
[157] _Ibid._ pp. 52, 53.
[158] Hemsterhuis, _Œuvres_, i. pp. 14-18, 24, 66 (Lettre sur la
sculpture, Lettre sur les désirs). A similar thought was applied by Poe
to the fundamental principles in poetic composition and has exercised a
great influence on recent literary movements. Cf. Poe, _Works_, vi. pp.
3-6 (The poetic principle). For a further elaboration of this notion
cf. Bourget, _Études et portraits_, i. pp. 225, 226; Hansson, _Kåserier
i mystik_, pp. 140, 141; Symons, _The Symbolist Movement_, p. 137

Ästhetik der deutschen Klassiker_, pp. 25, 27.
[163] Taine, _De l’idéal dans l’art_, pp. 19, 50, 130, 175.
[164] For an interesting comparison between French and English ideals
of art, compare the aphorisms of Mr. Quilter in _Sententiæ Artis_, pp.
7, 121, with the views of Taine, as expressed, for example, in _L’idéal
dans l’art_, p. 148.
[165] Cf. Ruskin, _Modern Painters_, 1, i. ii. § 8; iii. iv. 3, §§ 21,
24, 28.
