This premium ceramic mug features a paraphrased quote that captures the essence of Gustave Flaubert’s meticulous approach to writing. The original quote reads: “One must always work at a sentence until it has the sound of truth and the appearance of ease, though it be made up of nothing but labors.” In a letter to his confidante and lover, Louise Colet, on January 16, 1852, Flaubert described his relentless pursuit of le mot juste – the “right word” – and his belief that true art should appear effortless, even when it is the result of painstaking work.
Historical Background and Inspiration: Gustave Flaubert, celebrated author of Madame Bovary, is known not only for his novels but also for his extensive correspondence, especially his letters to Louise Colet. These letters offer profound insights into his dedication to crafting sentences that embody truth and ease. Flaubert’s commitment to precision resonates in this mug, inviting a quiet reflection on the art of creating seemingly effortless prose.
