"...If there was only that, copy and shorthand, realism could never have founded a literary school, it would have meant nothing. Realism is an inspiration. What makes it all valuable is precisely its incessant transparency, are the figures, visible with the mind, that thought describes inside it, strictly geometrizing... Nature gives matter; man stylizes it.

...If there was only that, copy and shorthand, realism could never have founded a literary school, it would have meant nothing. Realism is an inspiration. What makes it all valuable is precisely its incessant transparency, are the figures, visible with the mind, that thought describes inside it, strictly geometrizing... Nature gives matter; man stylizes it.
""...Dacă ar fi numai atâta, copie și stenografie, realismul n-ar fi putut nicicând întemeia o școală literară, n-ar fi însemnat nimic. Realismul e o inspirație. Ceea ce-i face tot prețul e tocmai transparența lui neîncetată, sunt figurile, vizibile cu mintea, pe care gândirea le descrie în interiorul lui, strict geometrizant... Natura dă materia; omul o stilizează."
