"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

Accepted.


To wait all day upon it then, very late, to have a door open for you that you did not think existed: all fears gone, sweetness, nonchalance -- to expand and draw the whole rotten earth in and mingle with its rottenness and sweetness.

I am no more than an apprentice but at last I have accepted it.
