HENRY FUSELI English (Swiss-born) painter (1741 - 1825) All actions and attitudes of children are graceful because they are the luxuriant and immediate offspring of the moment,--divested of affectation and free from all pretence.       - [Grace] Emulation embalms the dead; envy, the vampire, blasts the living.       - [Emulation] Expression alone can invest beauty with conquering charms.       - [Charm] Expression alone can invest beauty with supreme and lasting command over the eye.       - [Blandishment] Fashion is the bastard of vanity, dressed by art.       - [Fashion] Heaven and earth, advantages and obstacles, conspire to educate genius.       - [Genius] The price of excellence is labor, and time that of immortality.       - [Occupations] When we idealize the real, we sacrifice to artistic fancy.       - [Ideality] Last Revised: 2009 April 2 Copyright © 1999-2009 John C.
