High Art Alone Is Eternal And The

Eyes So Transparent That Through Them The Soul Is Seen.

Sometimes He Sits At Your Feet Looking Into Your Face With An Expression So Gentle And Caressing That The Depth Of His Gaze Startles You.

Who Can Believe That There Is No Soul Behind Those Luminous Eyes!

I Am A Man For Whom The Outside World Exists.

There Is Nothing Truly Beautiful But That Which Can Never Be Of Any Use Whatsoever; Everything Useful Is Ugly, For It Is The Expression Of Some Need, And Man's Needs Are Ignoble And Disgusting Like His Own Poor And Infirm Nature. The Most Useful Place In A House Is The Water-closet.
