The sculptor Carpeau was always a
bohemian and generally absentmind-
ed. Invited once to the Tuileries by
Emperor Napoleon III. and the En-
press Eugene, he pulled out his pipe
after dinner, filled it and discovering
that he had no matches, took scrap
OF paper, climbed on a chair and light
ed the pipe from the great chandelieF
above the table. ''You don't mind smOk-
ing. do you, ma'amw he said to the
empress. He once accepted from rich
patron an order to make a sculptured
group representing the Cyclops Poly
phemus crushing the youth Acis under
a rock. Carpeau had no sooner ac-
cepted the commission than he regret
ted it, for the subject had no fascina-
tons whatever for him. He put the
matter off again and again, but was
urgently pressed to begin it by his pa
iron. At last one day Carpeau took
the impatient patron to his studio and
showed him a great rough block OF
Uniformed clay. "There IS your group"
said the sculptor. my group? WhereT'
"Why, this is the rock" That's all
very well, but where is AciS? Under
the rock-crushed quite out Of sight, OF
course" "But where is PolyphemuS? p
ooh, he? Why, do you think he would
remain anywhere about after h had
done a thing like that?" This was as
far as the classical ''group" ever got.
