“I am an exemplary student, one who never misses a class, who almost always gets the best grades, who is the pride of his teachers. Today, I'd like to slap this seventeen-year-old kid, not because of the good grades but because of his incessant need to please those who would judge him.”

The idea for this sculpture came to Rodin while listening to Beethoven’s Second Symphony. He later confided to a friend, “God, how he must have suffered to write that! And yet, it was while listening to it for the first time that I pictured ‘Eternal Springtime,’ just as I have modeled it since.” 

“Eternal Springtime,” modeled in clay 1884; cast in plaster 1885, by Auguste Rodin
