EVEN THE ARTS ARE DEPENDENT ON THE SOUL.
Project Gutenberg EPUB3 edition
Plotinus and Guthrie, Kenneth Sylvan
All the arts concerned with things natural to man are contained within the ideas of Man himself. The Art that is universal is prior to the other arts; but Art is posterior to the Soul herself, or rather, to the life that is in Intelligence before becoming soul, and which, on becoming soul, deserves to be called the Soul herself.
