Strengthen yourself

Posted by Aaron Schmidt (Auckland, New Zealand) on 30 September 2004 in Architecture.

This is the front of the south (west) wing of Trocadéro. This wing of the Palace holds the Musée de l'Homme (Mankind museum) and the Musée de la Marine (Naval history museum). Both are worth visiting altough I'd recommend the Musée de la Marine if you're short on time.

The quote at the top reads as follows:

Tout homme crée sans le savoir
Comme il respire
Mais l'artiste se sent créer
Son acte engage tout son être
Sa peine bien aimée le fortifie

Paul Valéry

Every man creates without knowing it
Like he breathes
But the artist feels himself creating
His act engages his entire being
His appreciated pain strengthens him
