Description
Excerpt from The Complete Writings of Alfred De Musset, Vol. 3: A Venetian Night; Andre De Sarto; The Follies of Marianne; Fantasio No Trifling With Love; Barberine
Nevertheless, despite this judgment, which the German patriarch pronounced, he was the first to give, in art, the example of a toleration truly admirable. Not only did he make it his study to inspire in his friends a deep respect for the work of great men, but he always wished, that rather than be disheartened by the faults of an inferior production, one should look for a spark of life in a book, in an engraving, or in the feeblest and tamest of essays. More than once, hot-headed young people, bold and decisive, at the moment when they were shrugging their shoulders in pity, have heard the following words pronounced by the gray-haired old master, ao companied by a tender smile: There is some good in the worst of things.
