Interpretation
What this quote means
Art should evoke strong emotional responses and transport viewers to another realm.
Renoir emphasizes that true art has the power to engage the viewer deeply, capturing their attention and emotions to the point that they feel 'carried away' by its beauty and meaning. This suggests that art is not merely a visual experience, but a profound interaction that can transport individuals beyond their immediate surroundings.

THE POET A moody child and wildly wise Pursued the game with joyful eyes, Which chose, like meteors, their way, And rived the dark with private ray: They overleapt the horizon's edge, Searched with Apollo's privilege; Through man, and woman, and sea, and star, Saw the dance of nature forward far; Through worlds, and races, and terms, and times, Saw musical order, and pairing rhymes. Olympian bards who sung Divine ideas below, Which always find us young, And always keep us so.

As the waves of perfume, heliotrope, rose, _x000D_ _x000D_ Float in the garden when no wind blows, _x000D_ _x000D_ Come to us, go from us, whence no one knows; _x000D_ _x000D_ So the old tunes float in my mind, _x000D_ _x000D_ And go from me leaving no trace behind, _x000D_ _x000D_ Like fragrance borne on the hush of the wind.
