الصفحة 40 - Regrettez-vous le temps où le ciel sur la terre Marchait et respirait dans un peuple de dieux? Où Vénus Astarté, fille de l'onde amère, Secouait, vierge encor, les larmes de sa mère, Et fécondait le monde en tordant ses cheveux?
الصفحة 65 - C'est là que j'ai bâti mon âme, — Dites, serai-je seul, dedans mon âme? — Mon âme, hélas ! maison d'ébène, Où s'est fendu, sans bruit, un soir, Le grand miroir de mon espoir \ Dites, serai-je seul dedans mon âme, En ce nocturne et angoissant domaine?
الصفحة 66 - Physics, chemistry, and above all, the study of Nature have produced an epoch of confusion in art, and it may truly be said that artists, robbed of all their savagery, have wandered into all kinds of paths in search of the productive element which they no longer possess. They now act only in disorderly groups, and are terrified as if lost when they find themselves alone. Solitude is not to be recommended to every one, for a man must have the strength to bear it and to act alone.
الصفحة 66 - Your civilization is your disease, my barbarism is my restoration to health. The Eve of your civilized conception makes us nearly all misogynists. The old Eve, who shocked you in my studio, will perhaps seem less odious to you some day. I have perhaps been unable to do more than suggest my world, which seems unreal to you.
الصفحة 66 - Eve of your civilized conception makes us all misogynists. The old Eve who shocked you in my studio will perhaps seem less odious to you some day. I have perhaps been unable to do more than suggest my world, which seems unreal to you. . . . Only the Eve I have painted can stand naked before us. Yours would always be shameless in this natural state, and if beautiful, the source of pain and of evil.
الصفحة 66 - I am on the ground but I am not beaten. The Indian, who smiles while he is being tortured, is not conquered. You are mistaken if you meant that I am wrong in calling myself a savage. I am a savage, and the civilized feel this, for there is nothing in my work which could produce bewilderment save this savage strain in me, for which I am not myself responsible. It is therefore inimitable. Every human work is a revelation of the individual. Hence there are two kinds of beauty; one comes from instinct,...
الصفحة 213 - C'est que ce damné Réalisme faisait appel immédiat à ma vanité de peintre et, se moquant de toutes les traditions, criait tout haut avec l'assurance de l'ignorance : Vive la nature ! La nature, mon cher, ce cri-là a été un grand malheur pour moi.
الصفحة 237 - I love art, and I love history; but it is living art and living history that I love. If we have no hope for the future, I do not see how we can look back on the past with pleasure. If we are to be less than men in time to come, let us forget that we have ever been men. It is in the interest of living art and living history that I oppose "restoration.
الصفحة 17 - ... doucement amène la lèvre à l'amoureuse demande. Les formes se cherchent et se rejoignent dans de voluptueux désirs de violence et de résignation, révoltées et obéissantes aux lois auxquelles rien ne se dérobe ; partout triomphe une logique consciente. L'esprit généralisateur de Rodin lui a imposé la solitude. Il n'a pu collaborer à la cathédrale absente ; mais son désir d'humanité le relie aux formes éternelles de la nature.
الصفحة 252 - ... sad grave-side am I come, That I may give the last gifts to the dead And vainly parley with thine ashes dumb; Since she who now bestows and now denies Hath ta'en thee, hapless brother, from mine eyes. But lo! these gifts, the heirlooms of past years, Are made sad things to grace thy coffin-shell, Take them, all drenched with a brother's tears, And, brother, for all time, hail and farewell!
