[21] Alegrarse o sufrir con los destinos humanos que, tal vez, la obra de arte nos refiere o presenta, es cosa muy diferente del verdadero goce artistico. Más aún: esa ocupación con lo humano de la obra es, en principio, incompatible con la estricta fruición estética.

[24] There are passages in Mr. Whitehead’s books in which the word “God” is used properly, even nobly, with its religious connotation; and indeed, as Professor A. E. Taylor has shown in the Dublin Review for July 1927, part of the difficulty in grasping his argument is owing to this intellectual double-dealing. But in the end the conception of God as a physical law, or impersonal principle, quite wins out.
