"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

Fragrance.


I have a mind to confuse things,
Unite them, bring them to birth,
Mix them up, undress them,
Until the light of the world
Has the oneness of the ocean,
A generous, vast wholeness,
A crepitant fragrance.


Pablo Neruda, from "Too Many Names"

Thanks to the golden fish.
