John Galsworthy Quotes
Some Fifteen Years Ago In London There Was An Exhibition Of The Works Of A Certain Sculptor, Which Contained Many Sane And Admirable Pieces. Two Young Ladies Came In One Day, And Flitted From Flower To Flower With Dissatisfied Air, Till At Last One Of Them Caught Sight Of A Vast Seated Assemblage Of Elliptical Rhomboids Which Was Wooing The Public Under The Name Of Venus. Before This Supreme Novelty She Halted, If A Butterfly Can Halt. 'Oh, My Dear,' She Said, 'here She Is! Here's The Venus!' And Putting Her Head On One Side, She Added: 'Isn't She A Pet?' Such Butterflies Still Exist And Halt Before The Works Of Novelty For Novelty's Sake, Because They Are Told To By Some Town-crier, Who Must Have Novelty At Any Cost.
