“The Nefertiti bust is one of the most popular art works in the world. It is printed on scarves and molded in necklace pendants and coffee-table miniatures. But never in my experience is the bust exactly reproduced. The copyist softens it, feminizes it and humanizes it. The actual bust is intolerably severe. It is too uncanny an object for domestic display. Even art books lie. The bust is usually posed in profile or at an angle, so that the missing left pupil is hidden or shadowed. What happened to the eye?”

Circa June 1923, on observing a young Lou Gehrig—almost two years prior to commencing his record-breaking consecutive game streak—take batting practice; as quoted in The Babe Ruth Story https://books.google.com/books?id=5mu1AAAAIAAJ&amp;q=%22that+kid+sure+can+bust+%27em%22+intitle:The+intitle:Babe+intitle:Ruth+intitle:Story&amp;dq=%22that+kid+sure+can+bust+%27em%22+intitle:The+intitle:Babe+intitle:Ruth+intitle:Story&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=0ahUKEwiHhvezyoHcAhVm2oMKHZsSAfAQ6AEIKTAA (1948) by Ruth (as told to Bob Considine), p. 130. In the book, Ruth notes that his statement had evidently given rise to Gehrig&#x27;s now largely forgotten nickname Buster (the latter having first appeared in print on February 29th, the following year https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=B71SAAAAIBAJ&amp;sjid=YH0DAAAAIBAJ&amp;pg=5967%2C5402147&amp;dq=yankee-includes-lou-gehrig), adding that, despite having long since been eclipsed by such handles as &quot;The Iron Horse&quot; and even &quot;Larrupin&#x27; Lou,&quot; Gehrig&#x27;s lesser-known moniker did indeed have its heyday during the early years of his Yankee tenure https://www.newspapers.com/search/#query=%22buster+gehrig%22&amp;dr_year=1925-1929. (Not surprisingly, this heyday entailed a good deal of Ruth/Gehrig alliteration, along the lines of &quot;The Buster and the Babe&quot; https://www.newspapers.com/search/#query=gehrig+%22the+buster+and+the+babe%22&amp;dr_year=1927-1937 and &quot;the Big Bam and the Boy Buster&quot; https://www.newspapers.com/search/#query=Ruth+Gehrig+%22big+bam%22+%22boy+buster%22&amp;dr_year=1927-1928.)

Tout passe.
L'art robuste
Seul a l'éternité,
Le buste
Survit à la cité.
Et la médaille austère
Que trouve un laboureur
Sous terre
Révèle un empereur.
All passes, art alone
Enduring stays to us;
The bust outlasts the throne, —
The coin, Tiberius.
