“Everything passes.–
Only robust art is eternal.
The bust outlives the city.
And the simple coin
Unearthed by a peasant
Reveals the image of an emperor.”

Théophile Gautier (1811–1872) French writer

Tout passe.
L'art robuste
Seul a l'éternité,
Le buste
Survit à la cité.
Et la médaille austère
Que trouve un laboureur
Sous terre
Révèle un empereur.
All passes, art alone
Enduring stays to us;
The bust outlasts the throne, —
The coin, Tiberius.

Théophile Gautier Paris

Le hasard, c'est peut-être le pseudonyme de Dieu quand il ne veut pas signer.

„Идеал терзает даже самые грубые натуры. Дикарь, который татуируется, мажет себя красным и голубым, вдевает себе в ноздрю рыбью кость… ищет что-то выше лежащее над тем, что существует.“
