Everything passes.–
Only robust art is eternal.
The bust outlives the city.
And the simple coin
Unearthed by a peasant
Reveals the image of an emperor. (Théophile Gautier)

Everything passes.– Only robust art is eternal. The bust outlives the city. And the simple coin Unearthed by a peasant Reveals the image of an emperor.
