The creator

p 47, wood-cut, Hughes-Stanton, 44 x 126 mm

Naked man laid on front at length, head to left, forming object with hands.

p 395 [tr ed p 412] - 'Some men, there might be, uncreative; whose leisure was barren; but the activity of these would have been material only. To bring forth immaterial things, things creative, partaking of spirit, not of flesh, we must be jealous of spending time or trouble upon physical demands, since in most men the soul grew aged long before the body. Mankind had been no gainer by its drudges.'
