  In short, the primitive human conception of beauty must, I believe, have been purely anthropinistic — must have gathered mainly around the personality of man or woman; and all its subsequent history must be that of an apanthropinisation (I apologise for the ugly but convenient word), a gradual regression or concentric widening of æsthetic feeling around this fixed point which remains to the very last its natural centre.

  From this early, ‘anthropinistic’ stage, at which all aesthetic feeling is ‘gathered mainly around the personality of man or woman’, human aesthetic feeling gradually evolves in a process of apanthropinization, ‘a gradual regression or concentric widening of aesthetic feeling around this fixed point’,⁵⁹ and advances to the appreciation of beauty in nature.⁶⁰
