Consider Again Pater's Last Sentence

question 14

Essay

Consider again Pater's last sentence. Take a specific work of art (in any form or medium you wish, and it does not have to be one that Pater would have known) and show how Pater would say that it gives "nothing but the highest quality to your moments as they pass, and simply for those moment's sake." What do you think that he means by that phrase? Restate it in your own words. Does Pater's theory, as exemplified in that phrase, apply to the work of art that you have in mind? Why or why not?
