Beauty in the Printed Word

I was going through some of my grandfather's artwork, papers and assignments~ And, I found this lovely passage that he wrote:

"He is the true artisan who, in the daily pursuance of his chosen work, is fired with the zeal born of LOVE of that work; who strives, above all things, to make of each effort a masterpiece, and out of his heaven-given love of all that is beautiful visualizes, in every undertaking, its utmost potentiality. Beauty and utility--than which there is no superior combination--lurk within every conception passed on to the craftsman whose pleasure of accomplishment lies in the assemblage of the printed word."
