"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Move.

Wyeth, Rattler, 1960


They had all night, and the whole of the moon, and five miles of country to hide in ... we chased them through all the world, through jungles, swamps and tundra, across pampas plains and steppes of wheat and plateau of shooting stars, while hares made love in the silver grasses, and the large hot moon climbed over us, raising tides in my head of night and summer that move there even yet.
