From the masterpiece, Tragedy of the Man, describing the future where everything is done in the name of efficiency: THE GREYBEARD
You left your workroom in great disarray. MICHELANGELO
Because I had to fabricate the chair-legs
To the quality as poor as it can be.
I appeal’d for long, let me modificate,
Let me engrave some ornaments on it. They did not permit. I wanted as a chance
The chair-back to change but all was in vain.
I was very close to be a madman
And I left the pains and my workroom, too. (stands back) THE GREYBEARD
You get house arrest for this disorder
And will not enjoy this nice and warm day. |
