“In public squares shadows lengthen their mathematical enigmas. Over the walls rise nonsensical towers decked with little multicolored flags; infinitude is everywhere, and everywhere is mystery. One thing remains, immutable as if its roots were frozen in the entrails of eternity: our will as artist-creators. Will we regret the other things? Never. Our joy is only greater. We shall work.”

Giorgio de Chirico
Paris, 15 June 1913 (Éluard-Picasso Manuscripts)
