He will not diminish his leisure for the sake of making something he does not want unless some man or band of men force him to it; so he will either go without the ornament, or sacrifice some of his leisure to have it genuine. HE WILL NOT DIMINISH HIS LEISURE FOR THE SAKE OF MAKING SOMETHING HE DOES NOT WANT UNLESS SOME MAN OR MANTLE MEN FORCE INTO TO IT SO HE WILL EITHER GO WITHOUT THE ORNAMENT OR SACRIFICE SOME OF HIS LEISURE TO HAVE IT GENUINE
g in a society _that had accepted equality of condition_. Carry the machine used for art a step farther, and he becomes an unreasonable man, if he values art and is free. To avoid misunderstanding, I must say that I am thinking of the modern machine, which is as it were alive, and to which the man is auxiliary, and not of the old machine, the improved tool, which is auxiliary to the man, and only works as long as his hand is thinking; though I will remark, that even this elementary form of machine has to be dropped when we come to the higher and more intricate forms of art. Well, as to the machine proper used for art, when it gets to the stage above dealing with a necessary production that has accidentally some beauty about it, a reasonable man with a feeling for art will only use it when he is forced to. If he thinks he would like ornament, for instance, and knows that the machine cannot do it properly, and does not care to spend the time to do it properly, why should he do it at all? PROFIT SO LONG AS HE WAS LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT HAD ACCEPTED EQUALITY OF CONDITION CARRY THE MACHINES FOR ART A STEP FARTHER AND HE BECOMES AN UNREASONABLE MAN IF HE VALUES ART AND IS FREE TO AOID MISUNDERSTANDING I MUST SAY THAT I AM THINKING OF THE MODERN MACHINE WHICH IS AS IT WERE ALIVE AND TO WHICH THE MAN IS AUXILIARY AND NOT OF THE OLD MACHINE THE IMPROVED TOOL WHICH IS AUXILIARY TO THE MAN AND ONLY WORKS AS LONG AS HIS HAND IS THINKING THOUGH I WILL REMARK THAT EVEN THIS ELEMENTARY FORM OF MACHINE HAS TO BE DROPPED WHEN WE COME TO THE HIGHER AND MORE INTRICATE FORMS OF ART WELL AS TO THE MACHINE PROPER USED FOR ART WHEN IT GETS TO THE STAGE ABOVE DEALING WITH A NECESSARY PRODUCTION THAT HAS ACCIDENTALLY SOME BEAUTY ABOUT IT A REASONABLE MAN WITH A FEELING FOR ART WILL ONLY USE IT WHEN HE IS FORCED TO IF HE THINKS HE WOULD LIKE ORNAMENT FOR INSTANCE AND KNOWS THAT THE MACHINE CANNOT DO IT PROPERLY AND DOES NOT CARE TO SPEND THE TIME TO DO IT PROPERLY WHY SHOULD HE DO IT AT ALL
