"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

All.


We don't know what we spend;
all that's named is past and each being
invents itself at the last second
and will hear nothing / Hint of signals,
one leaf barely turned; but by now we've changed,
we disavow, smile, already lacking all sense
of yesterday's good fortune.  And the goddess herself
always over us.

Rainer Maria Rilke
