For\r\nthose who practise the common arts, are in what pertains to the senses\r\nhighly gifted: in hearing, he who is commonly called a musician; in\r\ntouch, he who moulds clay; in voice the singer, in smell the perfumer,\r\nin sight the engraver of devices on seals. Those also that are occupied\r\nin instruction, train the sensibility according to which the poets\r\nare susceptible to the influence of measure; the sophists apprehend\r\nexpression; the dialecticians, syllogisms; and the philosophers are\r\ncapable of the contemplation of which themselves are the objects.\r\nFor sensibility finds and invents; since it persuasively exhorts to\r\napplication. And practice will increase the application which has\r\nknowledge for its end.
