I woke up this morning and thought of a quote by Miss Ruth that I wanted to find, and in searching for it (I didn't find it) I found this in the same book, "Wisdom Comes Dancing: Selected Writings of Ruth St. Denis on Dance, Spirituality, and the Body":


The Image Eternal

Oh, Lovers of the dance,
And you who worship music,
And living forms of sculpture
Or the painter's skill in art,
Cease with me an instant
From your labors in the studio,
In theater or in concert hall,
And let us listen for an interval
To the Eternal Music,
And inwardly behold the Perfect Image.
And then let us begin to move
To the silent drum beats
Of the Perfect Dance.
