Daily Thoughts by Charles Kingsley

A High Finish. May 28.

A high artistic finish is important for more reasons than for the mere pleasure it gives. There is something sacramental in perfect metre and rhythm. They are outward and visible signs (most seriously we speak as we say it) of an inward and spiritual grace, namely, of the self-possessed and victorious temper of one who has so far subdued nature as to be able to hear that universal sphere-music of hers, speaking of which Mr. Carlyle says, that |all deepest thoughts instinctively vent themselves in song.|

Miscellanies. 1849.
