Edith Sitwell Art Quotations

I am one of those unhappy persons who inspire bores to the greatest flights of art.

the arts are life accelerated and concentrated.

Art is magic, not logic. This craze for the logical spirit in irrational shape is part of the present harmful mania for uniformity ...

"It is part of the poet's work to show each man what he sees but does not know he sees."

What an artist is for is to tell us what we see but do not know that we see.

Poetry is the deification of reality.

All great art contains an element of the irrational.
