"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

Illuminated.


The truth is always an abyss.  One must -- as in a swimming pool -- dare to dive from the quivering springboard of trivial everyday experience and sink into the depths, in order to later rise again -- laughing and fighting for breath -- to the now doubly illuminated surface of things.

Marcel Proust
