In defense of the real, as opposed to the ideal, he wrote, "I hope the time is coming when not only the artist, but the common, average man, who always 'has the standard of the arts in his power,' will have also the courage to apply it, and will reject the ideal grasshopper wherever he finds it, in science, in literature, in art, because it is not 'simple, natural, and honest,' because it is not like a real grasshopper.
Latin[la]
Realitatem contra eximiam speciem defendens, scripsit: Spero tempus venturum esse cum non solum artifex, sed vir vulgaris et mediocris, qui semper "normam artium in sua potestate habet," bono animo sit ut eam adhibeat, et grillum perfectum reiciat ubicumque eam inveniat, in scientia, in litteris, in arte, quia "sincerus, naturalis, probus" non est, quia grilli veri dissimilis est.
