“An intelligent man said that the world felt Napoleon as a weight, and that when he died it would give a great oof of relief. This is just as true of Byron, or of such Byrons of their days as Kipling and Hemingway: after a generation or two the world is tired of being their pedestal, shakes them of with an oof, and then - hoisting onto its back a new world-figure - feels the penetrating satisfaction of having made a mistake all its own.” MenWorldGivingFeelsMadeSaidTwoFeltMistakeGenerationsFiguresWeightDiedIntelligentTiredSatisfactionShakesReliefNew WorldMade A MistakePedestalIntelligent ManByronKipling Author:Randall Jarrell
“Our characteristic response to the mutilated statue, the bronze dug up from the earth, is revealing. It is not that we prefer time-worn bas-reliefs, or rusted statuettes as such, nor is it the vestiges of death that grip us in them, but those of life. Mutilation is the scar left by the struggle with Time, and a reminder of it - Time which is as much a part of ancient works of art as the material they are made of, and thrusts up through the fissures, from a dark underworld, where all is at once chaos and determinism.” ArtMadeEarthLeftDarkStruggleMaterialsResponseChaosAncientCharacteristicsReliefWorks Of ArtScarWornRemindersRevealingStatuesThrustDeterminismUnderworldBronzeMutilation Author:Andre Malraux
