'A pretty sort of answer I should get.

But the saddest thing in Egypt is the fine art debased in the temples, in these ponderous monuments of their officialism; for here and there in them you see exquisite bits of low relief carving, that a Greek would have been proud of, hidden away in interminable hieroglyphic histories spread indiscriminately over grotesque pillars and vast walls, as regardlessly of decorative effect as advertisements in a newspaper's columns.

I talk to an average of ten men like you every day of my life; young chaps who don't know what a newspaper's run for; who don't care, either.
