– Excerpt from the poem The Eyes of the Poor by French poet Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867):
“The nymphs and goddesses carrying fruits, pâtés and game on their heads, the Hebes and the Ganymedes presenting with outstretched arms the small Bavarian amphora or the two-tone obelisk of variegated ice creams; all history and all mythology put at the service of gluttony.
