learning to see

"now, remember, gentleman, that i have not been trying to teach you to draw, only to see. two men are walking through Clare market. one of them comes out at the other end not a bit wiser than when he went in; the other notices a bit of parsley hanging over the edge of a butter-woman's basket, and carries away with him images of beauty which in the course of his daily work he incorporates with it for many a day. i want you to see things like these".
