"Some masterpieces will ever have a universal meaning for all mankind. The European can find keen pleasure in Japanese art, and Shakespeare's plays have long been translated into Chinese and acted in China. Yet if art can transcend space, can it also transcend time? The modes of art vary from age to age no less than the modes of human thought."
