...meaning most forcibly. In short, he must have each part subordinate to the expression of the meaning of the whole. He must not only be able to see facts apart, but to perceive with equal chearness their relations to each other and to the whole. If he fails to understand all their relations plainly, his performance will be confused and uninteresting...
