Tu ments (sic), enfant, par gourmandise, jeune homme tu mentiras par amour, homme par - orgueil, vieillard par hypocrisie...race menteuse et sotte...comme si l'on ne pouvait avoir sans tromper autrui ni pommes ni femmes ni gloire en ce monde ni paix dans l'autre

Gavarni, Paul, 1804-1866 · July 7, 1841

An old man sitting on a stone bench at left, his legs hanging lightly before him, his arms on his knees between his legs a long stick resting on his shoulders. Little boy standing before him, with both hands behind him a hoop and a stick.
