“All passes. Art alone
Enduring stays to us;
The bust outlasts the throne,—
The coin, Tiberius;
“Even the gods must go;
Only the lofty rhyme
Not countless years o’erthrow,—
Not long array of time.
“Paint, chisel, then, or write;
But, that the work surpass,
With the hard fashion fight,—
With the resisting mass.”
—Austin Dobson.
