Old as he was, Ifrequently saw him among the ruins of ancient Rome, out in the Campagna, or along the banks of the Tyber, sketching a scene which had pleasedhim; and I often met him with his handkerchief full of stones, moss, orflowers, which he carried home, that he might copy them exactly fromnature. One day I asked him, how he had attained to such a degree ofperfection as to have gained so high a rank among the great painters ofItaly? He answered, '_I have neglected nothing!_'" POUSSIN'S OLD... AGE.
