Can the soul be compared to anything more beautiful than the butterfly?     From a dull, groveling caterpillar to a soaring creature of splendor and grace, the butterfly has captivated our heart, inspired our spirit, and preoccupied our imagination since the dawn of history.

Balzac’s fable is discussed not only within the context from which it emergedearly nineteenth-century romanticismbut also in its embodiment of various attitudes towards art.
