• El tallador de madera puede hacer lo que quiera. Sin embargo, sus productos no son más que juguetes del momento, para ser mirados en broma, no diseñados de acuerdo con ningún precepto o ley. Cuando los tiempos cambian, el escultor también cambiará su estilo y hará nuevas bagatelas para satisfacer la fantasía del momento. Pero hay otro tipo de artista, que se dedica a su trabajo con más sobriedad, esforzándose por dar verdadera belleza a las cosas que los hombres usan realmente y por darles la forma que la tradición ha ordenado. Este fabricante de cosas reales no debe confundirse ni por un momento con el fabricante de juguetes ociosos.
