"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

Lepcke, Female Archer, 1905


Fight ever on: this Earthly stuff
If used God’s way will be enough.
Face to the firing line, O friend,
Fight out life’s battle to the end.

One soldier, when the fight was red,
Threw down his broken sword and fled.
Another snatched it, won the day,
With what his comrade flung away. 

Edwin Markham
