EUGÈNE DELACROIX
"God is within us: it is
that inner presence which makes us admire the beautiful, which rejoices us
when we have done right and consoles us for not sharing in the happiness of
the wicked. It is that, beyond a doubt, which constitutes the inspiration of
men of genius and which warms them at the spectacle of their own productions."
(Pack, 1972, 697)
“Does nature promise us
that we shall love and possess one another
elsewhere, without this disquiet and anxiety that accompany our happiest
moments? The woods and the springs tell me so.”
(Delacroix, 1971)
