Daumier quotes

  • I dread this like the dentist, rather more so: To me Art's subject is the human clay, And landscape but a background to a torso; All Ce z anne's apples I would give away For one small Goya or a Daumier.

    -W(ystan) H(ugh) Auden
      'Letter to Byron', pt.3, stanza 20, collected in Poems, Essays, Dramatic Writings1927^1939 (1977).
