THE COMIC SPIRIT
THE EXPRESSION OF JOY AS CHARACTERIZED IN COLORS —GRAY, PURPLE, AND RED
Every human being possesses a certain amount of sensitiveness, therefore even an average artist may be able to interpret adequately a tragic song or a tragic dramatic action.
However, to be able to impregnate oneself with comic spirit requires a natural gift. You cannot study how to acquire a gift from nature, you will lose your precious time. You have it or you have it not.
This gift of nature goes generally with another gift, that of health. You do not see a sick person imbued with a sense of comedy.
Nature has given it not only to the healthy body but also to the healthy mind. You will find that a character of equable disposition is capable of a gayety which is refused to a capricious or nervous character.
