English Fairy Tales by: Joseph Jacobs
Russian look at the steps of artistic perception: and Science of Art, It gets pretty deep quotes a Russian (O-V) “The verse is nothing but pedantic prose in which metric uniformity has been maintained, (this essay this Marxist site ) whereas prose is a free verse in which iambi, trochees, etc, alternate freely and arbitrarily, and do not prevent certain prose (Turgenev’s, for instance) from being more harmonious than some verse.” The last exert from the essay doesn't really do it it's justice, "The free feeling of relative lightness, of the parasitic enjoyment of exploiting somebody else’s labor free of charge is the source of artistic enjoyment." It's really talking about the scientific likeness of human perception but how usually art culture don't respond in a way that is responding as a specimen, we are socially bonded differently, or are we? This is Tolstoy's addition to this multi faceted, infinite subject: "In nearly everything I wrote I was guided by the need of gathering thoughts and connecting them to express myself, but each thought expressed separately loses its meaning and becomes insignificant if taken out of the context to which it belongs. The context itself is not made up of thoughts (I think) but of something else, and it is impossible to express in precise words the basis of this combination. But it can be done indirectly, using words to describe images, actions, and situations." This other article talks about psychological mental functions: "egocentric speech becomes inner speech which becomes more and more abbreviated and esoteric until non-verbal conceptual thought takes root alongside unconscious socialised speech."
