Beautiful women step down to him from their tapestries, and, living on drops of his blood, come back to him out of their graves. The Princess Hermonthis claims her little foot that he has bought as a paper-w^eight, and takes him to the tomb of the Pharaohs and the pre- adamite kings sitting with their thousand peoples waiting for the final day. The Pompeian harlot is brought alive by the love of a youth for the imprint her perfect breasts have left in molten lava. He is ill at ease in his most ...famous Roman de la Momie until he has finished w^ith the Englishman and the doctor, and is translating the scroll of papyrus buried three thousand years ago w^ith Tahoser in the sarcophagus. But it is too easy to construct a man out of his work. It is more interesting to compare the man of this world with the man he w^ould have liked to be, and the man he chose to express. Gautier was not pure dreamer. Though the world of his art was as far from the world of Paris, as the world of Mr. Yeats from the world of London or Dublin, he was not a seer, or a poet between whom and reality hung a veil of dreams.
