So, do some of you happen to know, did Gustave Flaubert really say "Pulchritudo vitae in vico, ea videtur solummodo a poetis, ea non videtur a hominibus in vicis." or anything like that? If so, where?
If he did not say that, do you know who actually said that?

I've asked it elsewhere, where I am more likely to get an answer.

Maybe this forum isn't your audience. When you get to the point where you have to answer yourself (after two months)...that's a pretty good bet.

Bump for those interested...

*crickets*

don't worry, I've posted a few bloopers on the boards. There is no good metric to figure out what post will actually hit. Maybe if your post was in latin... /sarcasm

All I know about Flaubert is that he makes a brief appearance in Jimmy Buffett's 'Love In The Library'.

No, that was Joe who said that

Ah, yes - Joe Flaubert. The 'Daniel Baldwin' of the Flaubert family. Smile

I searched for Flaubert quotes, found many, and I am unimpressed. Pretty much a dick!

I've asked another question, apparently a better one, about New Latin literature.

I'm curious as to why you seem to doubt these quotes. Skepticism is a good thing, of course, but what makes you uncertain about this?
