To-day, artists and those who love artists seem like fossils. Imagine a megatherium or a diplodocus stalking the streets of Paris! There you have the impression that we must make upon our contemporaries. Ours is an epoch of engineers and of manufacturers, not one of artists.
Auguste Rodin and Paul Gsell. Art, Publisher Boston, Small, Maynard &
Co, 1912. Translated by Mrs. Romilly Fedden. p.7
