"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Solid.

Chardin, Boy Building a House of Cards, 1735


Charming child occupied with pleasure,
We jest at your fragile endeavours,
But between ourselves, what is more solid,
Our project or your castles?

François Bernard Lépicié
