Présentation de l'éditeur

What I think of it? I think it is a pretty little bronze figure. Let that suffice, and leave me to my melancholy. I see that it is nicely done; the arms and legs look as though they belonged to the body and had not been stuck on by mistake; the position is happy. I take note of it all and approve. There it ends for me. And you would give you know not what, perhaps a few years of your life, to have modelled the toy. That is what saddens me; this boundless admiration of things that seem to me minor; this worship of art for its own sake.
