" " I might observe, " said the old man, "that I have rarely seen you in years, that in the in- terval untruth has been sufficient for you, and that you have known very well how to live without my advice. But it shall not be said that you have invoked my frankness in vain. Your Venice is neither a goddess, nor a woman, nor anything else ! She smiles like a wax fig- ure, she has neither muscles, nor lines, nor forms ; her movement is that of a living picture at Koster & Rial's ; she poses in a l...apis-lazuli and opal landscape powdered with mica, and 52 Maxims of Art.
the ridiculous children that are flying around her are made of stuffed satin. You paint so skillfully that you succeed in placing nothing on your canvas. It is neat, pretty, clever, false. In fine, you have deserved the ignominy of being adored by society people. " " Oh ! " the visitor exclaimed indignantly.
" Yet, " continued the old man, " you might be sincere if you wished. I consent to accept mythology, but you should reflect that in the modern conception of it Aphrodite is a gigantic force whose celestial purity nothing may tarnish, that she is a formidable divinity, and that the desires which are created by her must be beauti- ful and vivid.
