| A rebours. * “There's no doubt about it - gardeners are the only true artists these days.”* |
Joris Karl Huysmans (5 February 1848 – 12 May 1907)
* Alright, two more:
"Art and prayer are the only decent ejaculations of the soul."
"Only the chaste are truly obscene."
I am going to disagree with him. Art (fortunately) takes many forms - which includes gardens.
ReplyDeleteI don't pray, and it is a long time since I was chaste.
Ha! I like that: "I don't pray, and it is a long time since I was chaste."
DeleteAnd I do agree with you going to disagree with Huysman. I think he would not be surprised, though.
Sounds like an interesting fellow, and an interesting beer.
ReplyDeleteI ought to mention, though, that the "interesting beer" does not come up to the Reinheitsgebot.
DeleteWhatever days he was talking about he was wrong (unless I am wrong, obviously).
ReplyDeleteAye (obviously).
DeleteEin anderes geeignetes Bier : Maredsous Tripel 10°. Prosit! ^^
ReplyDeleteUff, 10% seems a bit too much for my taste. But now you suggest ... ;-)
