Παραδείγματα από το σώμα κειμένου για Meudon
1. These eyes are almost in the stone (so marvellously is the unawakenedness expressed here ...)" The following day, on his first visit to the pavilion at Meudon, Rilke was exhausted, both by the quantity of things on display and by their snow–bright whiteness – so dazzling that it hurt his eyes.
2. Rodin showed little interest in the book, but when he read a French translation, in 1'05, he wrote warmly to the man who had "influenced so many by his work and his talent". Expressing affection and admiration, Rodin invited Rilke to stay at his home in Meudon.
3. The show features masterpieces including "The Kiss," "The Thinker" and the 23 foot tall "Gates of Hell," cast in bronze and inspired by Italian medieval poet Dante‘s "Inferno." The cast of the latter, made in 1'47, has been lent by the Kunsthaus Zurich, but many of the works are on loan from the Musee Rodin in Paris and Rodin‘s home in the Parisian suburb of Meudon.
