Summary

This quote by AndrÃ© Gide highlights a belief that art is not solely created by human effort, but instead is a collaboration between the artist and a higher power, often referred to as God. According to Gide, the role of the artist should be minimal, allowing the creative force of God to guide and shape the artwork. By embracing this view, artists are encouraged to relinquish control and allow their work to be infused with a divine inspiration, resulting in a purer and more authentic artistic expression.

Out of the hard and unusual struggle through which he is compelled to pass, he gets a strength, a confidence, that one misses whose pathway is comparatively smooth by reason of birth and race.
