Théophile Gautier:
(Tarbes, 31 August 1811 – Neuilly-sur-Seine, 23 October 1872). French writer. He began as a Romantic writer and was an active militant, but later turned away from the movement because he disagreed with the excesses to which Romanticism had led. Gautier then developed as a theoretician of the Parnasse movement, defending the ‘L’art pour l’art’ doctrine. He wrote both prose and poetry, but is now best known for his poems.
Félix Nadar – wikipedia.org
When love is no longer there, it is replaced by friendship; when friendship is no longer there, habit takes its place.
