About This Quote
To wake the soul by tender strokes of art,To raise the genius, and to mend the heart. By art we mean something that is beautiful and impressive in its own right. It can be an object, a painting, or a piece of music. If we wake up our soul through something that is beautiful and impressive, we are opening the door for our artistic side to come out.
We can also put our artistic skills to use by working on our creative projects. We might write a book, paint an artwork, compose a song, or even just cook a delicious meal.
