Excerpt from The Crucifix of Baden: And Other Stories, Original, Translated, and SelectedWhen you have long studied those features and contemplated their agony, you involuntarily ask yourself Where did the sculptor find so sufi'ering a face, so living an agony? Whence came his model? For you feel that features once were the ¿esh of one to whom ordinary grief were as nothing. That look of life, that pain so real, came certainly from a human heart that once beat beneath them, and in them painted its wounds, its tortures. And its agony. They were seen, and not merely created in the artist's brain.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
