"The Idealist has a face chewed by the convulsion of his maniacal fanaticism. His eyes are eaten out by the flames of hallucination. The Cynic is not of the amateur-cynics who speak on one side of their mouths, but one who knowing all that could be known, still remains smiling. Knowing that the Idealist is blinded by his own enthusiasm, the Cynic combats him with the flower and a smile"
