Sometimes the sky is cloudy with low hanging clouds, which in turn, feeling the warm infiuence of the sun, give way to this monarch of light, leaving great clefts in the leaden masses of cloud through which the sky shines clear and blue. In our daily life good and evil may not be mingled in equal proportion, nor can we judge the proportion of good and evil in the lives of our companions from exterior appearances, for many may be living under the blackest of clouds who are apparently enjoying...
Zola, said Mr. Copeland, in his accumulation of details may be called a realist, but in his massing of movements and men, he is certainly an idealist, but an idealist whose ideals were of the mud rather than of the sky.

For the Impressionist it is the symbol of labor, a mass of shadow against a twilight sky, suggesting peasant toil and suffering. Between these we must decide. We want neither a collection, a conglomeration of geology and botany, nor a vague, indefinite suggestion of a possible truth; it is something between the two which is the true representation of our ideal...
