Thought for today: 

“The metaphor is probably the most fertile power possessed by man.”  

Jose Ortega y Gasset, 

The Dehumanization of Art -

an essay in Spanish, 1925.

Then Princeton published 

the first English translation 

of the essay paired with another 

entitled "Notes on the Novel." 

Three essays were later added 

to make an expanded edition, 

published in 1968, under the 

title The Dehumanization of Art 

and Other Essays on Art, 

Culture and Literature .
