“Dance on, dance on, we see, we see
Youth goes, alack, and with it glee,
A boy the old man ne’er can be;
Maternal thirty scarce can find
The sweet sixteen long left behind.”

“Besides, the entire impressionism usually presented merely the things from the outside. And sometimes they did it so perfectly that a seventeen[the] century painting looks clumsy, as far as seeing is concerned.”

Jan Mankes (1889–1920) Dutch painter

Trouwens het geheele impressionisme gaf meestal weinig meer dan de uiterlijke zijde der dingen. En dat deden ze soms zoo volmaakt dat een zeventien[de] eeuwsch schilderij er onbeholpen tegen is, wat zién betreft.
