[…] Dantan, l’artiste chaud et à l’active intelligence, escalada le ciel comme un nouveau Titan, pénétra de vive force dans le conseil des Dieux, alla saisir madame Sculpture qui se prélassait pompeusement entre Minerve et Jupiter, et malgré les efforts du blond Apollon et du troupeau des Muses éplorées, l’entraîna avec lui sur la terre.
