He belongs to the fierce tribe of synics and men of exuberant powers, like Goya and Courbet. A born anarch of art, he submitted to no yoke. He would have said with Anacharsis Cloots: "I belong to the party of indignation." He was a proud individualist.
As time went on and Spring went out of her and Summer ripened to maturity, she was more and more glad to return from these brief excursions to the quiet country and the safe monotonous round.

I have lost my character for ever! I am looked upon as a man without heart and without feeling a dry philosopher, an individualist, a plebeian in a word, an economist of the English or American school.
