A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte (1886) by Georges Seurat
"Blood, Musk and Hashish", that is to say, War, Love and Dreamland! Amid these heady fumes beats yet, in the wilds of our French possessions in Algeria, the great heart of a People that our European civilization stifles, a People that is vanishing away little by little, dying out with all its wild, fierce vices and its incomparable grandeur." --Musk, Hashish and Blood (1886) by Hector France |
