"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

Happy Birthday, Morrison.

Poet Van Morrison was born on this date in 1945.

Illusions and pipe dreams on the one hand
And straight reality is always cold
Saying something hard-edged is off the wall
And it just might be too bold

Well I'm down here on the running board
Where I've been many times before
But we got to keep it simple to save ourselves
