Sounds Like
First follow nature
and your judgement frame
By her just standard
which is still the same
Unerring nature
still divinely bright
One clear, unchanged
and universal light
Life, force, and beauty
must to all impart
At once the source, and end
and test of art
Art from that fund
each just supply provides
Works without show
and without pomp presides;
In some fair body
thus the informing soul
With spirit feeds
with vigour fills the whole
Each motion guides
and every nerve sustains
Itself unseen
but in the effects
Remains.
Alexander Pope.
