Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last Fruit Off an Old Tree Inferior in execution to those I have already set before the public will perhaps these Imaginary Conversations appear; certainly for the most-part inferior are the materials. No sculptor can work in sandstone so artistically and effectively as in alabaster and marble. In the sight of higher intelligences the Pio-Nonós, the Nicholases, the Louis-Philippes, the Louis-Napoleons, and their domestics in caps and hoods, in flounces and furbelows, in ribbands and cordages, in stars and crosses, are of misshapen and friable clay, not even "de meliore luto." In the sight of the Highest Intelligence of all, the poor humble Madiai, we are informed by unerring authority, are far superior to such as "affect the nod" and assume the attributes of deity.
