MARCEL SCHWOB
(1867-1905)

"You are the most marvellous, the most hallucinatory resurrector of the past: you are the magical evoker of antiquity, of that Heliogabalesque antiquity to which fly the imaginations of thinkers and the brushes of painters, of mysteriously perverse and macabre decadences and of the ends of the worlds."

Edmond de Goncourt, writing to Schwob on the publication of Le Roi au masque d'or
(the King in the Golden Mask)
