Summary

This quote suggests that immigrants should be legally bound to learn the English language or face deportation within a specific timeframe. The underlying assumption is that a shared language is necessary for successful integration into the host country. Proponents argue that this policy would promote better communication, increased opportunities for immigrants, and ultimately lead to a more cohesive society. Critics, on the other hand, may view it as exclusionary, disregarding individual circumstances and cultural diversity. The quote encapsulates a debate about language requirements and the extent to which assimilation should be enforced in immigration policies.

Those who are esteemed umpires of taste, are often persons who have acquired some knowledge of admired pictures or sculptures, and have an inclination for whatever is elegant; but if you inquire whether they are beautiful souls, and whether their own acts are like fair pictures, you learn that they are selfish and sensual. Their cultivation is local, as if you should rub a log of dry wood in one spot to produce fire, all the rest remaining cold. Their knowledge of the fine arts is some study of rules and particulars, or some limited judgment of color or form which is exercised for amusement or for show. It is a proof of the shallowness of the doctrine of beauty, as it lies in the minds of our amateurs, that men seem to have lost the perception of the instant dependence of form upon soul.
