Extract

“And he was obscurely attracted by the new promised world—the people … Like other naive young men, he cherished great plans for popular art, people's concerts and people's theatre, which he would have been very troubled to define. He expected that revolution might make possible artistic renovation, and he claimed that he had no other interest in the social movement.”
