There is nothing more disenchanting to man than to be shown the springs and mechanism of anyart. All our arts and occupations lie wholly on the surface; it is on the surface that we perceive theirbeauty, fitness, and significance; and to pry below is to be appalled by their emptiness and shockedby the coarseness of the strings and pulleys. In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to anynicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather from the fault of our analysis than from anypoverty native to the mind. And perhaps in æsthetics the reason is the same: those disclosureswhich seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps only in the proportion of our ignorance; andthose conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employwere yet, if we had the power to trace them to their springs, indications of a delicacy of the sensefiner than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature. This ignorance at least is largelyirremediable. We shall never learn the affinities of beauty, for they lie too deep in nature and too farback in the mysterious history of man. The amateur, in consequence, will always grudgingly receivedetails of method, which can be stated but never can wholly be explained; nay, on the principle laiddown in Hudibras, that

In a similar way, psychology itself, when pushed to any nicety, discovers an abhorrent baldness, but rather from the fault of our analysis than from any poverty native to the mind. And perhaps in aesthetics the reason is the same: those disclosures which seem fatal to the dignity of art seem so perhaps only in the proportion of our ignorance; and those conscious and unconscious artifices which it seems unworthy of the serious artist to employ were yet, if we had the power to trace them to their springs, indications of a delicacy of the sense finer than we conceive, and hints of ancient harmonies in nature.

Robert Louis (Balfour) Stevenson (November 13, 1850-December 3, 1894), was a Scottish novelist, poet, and travel writer, and a leading representative of Neo-romanticism in English literature. He was the man who "seemed to pick the right word up on the point of his pen, like a man playing spillikins," as G. K. Chesterton put it. He was also greatly admired by many authors, including Jorge Luis Borges, Ernest Hemingway, Rudyard Kipling and Vladimir Nabokov. Most modernist writers dismissed him, however, because he was popular and did not write within their narrow definition of literature. It is only recently that critics have begun to look beyond Stevenson's popularity and allow him a place in the canon.
