“The great artist belongs to God, and is imperishable. Like Moses, he stands upon the mount and receives the eternal laws of art. He forgets his inner life, joy and sorrow disappear; he ascends on the wings of the beloved art, and brushing the gates of Paradise translates into his earthly work some of the entrancing melody of the heavenly choirs.”
Pauline Hopkins, "Phenomenal Vocalists," Colored American Magazine, November 1901.
