Excerpt from La Comédie Humaine by Honoré De Balzac, Vol. 21: Now for the First Time Completely Translated Into English; Béatrix Compelled to abandon their active life, these heads became arms. The arm, deprived of nourishment, dries up and withers. During the last thirty years, however, these portraits of bygone ages are begin ning to be effaced and are becoming rare. By work ing for the masses, modern industrial appliances are fast supplanting the creations of old-fashioned skill, whose labors concerned the consumer as well as the artisan individually. We have products now, we no longer have works. The monumental structures count for half in these retrospective phenomena. But from the standpoint of modern industry, the stone quarries, the saltpetre mines and the cotton factories are monumental structures. A few years more and these cities of long ago will be transformed and will be heard of no more except in literary iconography of this sort.
