" "C'est indéniable, il y a eu des horreursà l'époque florissante de l'art médiéval, mais elles étaient dues à la destruction de marchandises, et non, comme aujourd'hui, à leur fabrication : c'était la guerre et la dévastation qui affligeaient l'oeil de l'artiste à cette époque, le villes mises à sac, les villages brûlés et les champs saccagés. Les ruines portent sur elles les stigmates de leur laideur ; aujourd'hui, c'est la prospérité qui affiche sa hideur.

Additional quotes by William Morris
I am accursed and beguiled; and I wander round and round in a tangle that I may never escape from. I am not far from deeming that this is a land of dreams made for my beguiling. Or has the earth become so full of lies, that there is no room amidst them for a true man to stand upon his feet and go his ways?

To give people pleasure in the things they must perforce use, that is one great office of decoration; to give people pleasure in the things they must perforce make, that is the other use of it. Does not our subject look important enough now? I say that without these arts, our rest would be vacant and uninteresting, our labour mere endurance, mere wearing away of body and mind.
