Excerpt from A Poet's Bazaar: Pictures of Travel in Germany, Italy, Greece, and the Orient
From Thorwaldsen I got the first verbal account Of the Spanish dancers; he was transported and inspired, as I had never before seen him. That is a dance! There are attitudes! There are forms and beauty! Said he, and his eyes glistened while he spoke. See! One is in the South when one sees that dance!
One forenoon when I entered his atelier, I saw a bass-relief representing a dancing Bacchus and Bacchante completed in clay. The Spanish dancers have given me the idea, said he 3 they also can dance thus; I' thought of their charming dance when I did this.
