"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

Will.

Gruner, Nocturne, 1921


The night is darkening round me, 
The wild winds coldly blow; 
But a tyrant spell has bound me, 
And I cannot, cannot go. 

The giant trees are bending 
Their bare boughs weighed with snow; 
The storm is fast descending, 
And yet I cannot go. 

Clouds beyond clouds above me, 
Wastes beyond wastes below; 
But nothing drear can move me; 

Emily Brontë
