Duchamp, Landscape at Blainville (1902)

Not in the mist of legendary ages,
Which in sad moments men call long ago.
And people with bards, heroes, saints, and sages,
And virtues vanished, since we do not know,
But here to-day wherein we all grow old.

But only we, this Tale of True Love will be told. 

Alfred Austin (1835–1910)
