intuition and feeling
What gives coherence and unity to the intuition is feeling: the intuition is really such because it represents a feeling, and can only appear from and upon that. Not the idea, but the feeling, is what confers upon art the airy lightness of the symbol: an aspiration enclosed in the circle of a representation-that is art: and in it the aspiration alone stands for the representation, and the representation alone for the aspiration.
Benedetto Croce
