Irving Stone Quotes
His Sculpture Would Have Joy In It, Try To Capture The Sense Of Fertility Of Dionysus, The Nature God, The Power Of The Intoxicating Drink That Enabled A Man To Laugh And Sing And Forget For A While The Sorrow Of His Earthly Miseries. And Then, Perhaps, At The Same Time He Could Portray The Decay That Came With Too Much Forgetfulness, That He Saw All Around Him, When Man Surrendered His Moral And Spiritual Values For The Pleasures Of The
flesh. The Bacchus Would Be The Central Figure Of His Theme, A Human Being Rather Than A Demigod; Then There Would Be A Child Of About Seven, Sweet-
faced, Lovable, Nibbling From A Bunch Of Grapes. His Composition Would Have Death In It Too; The Tiger, Who Liked Wine And Was Loved By Bacchus, With The Deadest, Dead Skin And Head Conceivable
