Quotes First we look at the hills in the painting,Then we look at the painting in the hills. As quoted in Lin Yutang's My Country and My People (1935), pp. 99 and 248 Compare: We're made so that we loveFirst when we see them painted, things we've passedPerhaps a hundred times nor cared to see;And so they are better, painted,—better to us,Which is the same thing. Art was given for that;God uses us to help each other so,Lending our minds out.
