“Sculpture and painting are very justly called liberal arts; a lively and strong imagination, together with a just observation, being absolutely necessary to excel in either; which, in my opinion, is by no means the case of music, though called a liberal art, and now in Italy placed even above the other two—a proof of the decline of that country.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

“They mourn, but smile at length; and, smiling, mourn;
The tree will wither long before it fall;”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
