Summary

This quote suggests that the world is like a grand stage, and humans are merely actors on it. It implies that our lives are performances, orchestrated by a higher power (God) and guided by the natural forces (nature). It speaks to the idea that our existence is transient and that we are part of a grand spectacle being played out. The quote encourages us to see our lives as an opportunity to fulfill our roles, immerse ourselves in the drama, and make the most of the time we have on this planet.

The public make use of the classics of a country as a means

The public make use of the classics of a country as a means of checking the progress of Art. They degrade the classics into authorities.... A fresh mode of Beauty is absolutely distasteful to them, and whenever it appears they get so angry and bewildered that they always use two stupid expressions--one is that the work of art is grossly unintelligible; the other, that the work of art is grossly immoral. What they mean by these words seems to me to be this. When they say a work is grossly unintelligible, they mean that the artist has said or made a beautiful thing that is new; when they describe a work as grossly immoral, they mean that the artist has said or made a beautiful thing that is true.
