Sir Joshua Reynolds, The Age of Innocence (1788) "The age of innocence."
more you look at the paintings of Reynolds
more I became convinced that there is only one failure:
cease to be a child.
Eden
projects in the past that stage of our lives,
comforts us of our childhood gone.
Look at that gentle hand that holds the child against his chest, as
timidly defend their own happiness!
Reynolds has really understood all this? Or
pensive eyes express a vague fear
before what will be necessary to lose?
Children, like lovers,
have a premonition of the limits of happiness.
(Emil Cioran)
