Summary

This quote suggests that the imagination is the key to perceiving beauty and that all forms of art have the potential to influence our emotions indirectly. In other words, our capacity to appreciate the beautiful is deeply connected to our imagination, and any medium of art has the power to evoke emotional responses by stimulating the imagination. Art, whether it be visual, literary, or performing, can touch our feelings by igniting our imaginative faculties and allowing us to experience beauty in various ways.
