Work is blessed and holy. Work is the road back again to
Paradise Lost! Carmen Sylva, Queen of Roumania |
|
It is odd, just when I was making that copy of the
"Pieta" by Delacroix, I found where that canvas has gone. It belongs to a
queen of Hungary, or of some other country thereabouts, who has written
poems under the name of Carmen Sylva. The article mentioning her and the
picture was by Pierre Loti, and he made you feel that this Carmen Sylva as
a person was even more touching than what she wrote—and yet she wrote
things like this: a childless woman is like a bell without a clapper—the
sound of the bronze would perhaps be beautiful, but no one will ever hear
it. |
