Whilst staring at a statue of Cleopatra, Mark Antony became transfixed by his lover's beauty. He was on his way to the decisive battle of Actium but lingered on, amazed with the sculptor's perfection, & thus lost the battle. Pascal would later say that had Cleopatra's nose been smaller history would be different. The fate of the world hung in the balance, on Cleopatra's nose. History was decided by an artist's hammer & chisel. That there is art. What we do is crap compared to that.
