Additional quotes by Théophile Gautier

Je suis un homme pour qui le monde visible existe.

Yes, the work comes out more fair,
From a form that rebels against
Handling,
Verse, marble, onyx, enamel.

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.
