Georges-Louis Leclerc, Comte De Buffon Quotes
The Sublime Can Only Be Found In The Great Subjects. Poetry, History And Philosophy All Have The Same Object, And A Very Great Object - Man And Nature. Philosophy Describes And Depicts Nature. Poetry Paints And Embellishes It. It Also Paints Men, It Aggrandizes Them, It Exaggerates Them, It Creates Heroes And Gods. History Only Depicts Man, And Paints Him Such As He Is.
