"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

Together.


I went across the pasture lot 
When not a one was watching me. 
Away beyond the cattle barns 
I climbed a little crooked tree. 

And I could look down on the field 
And see the corn and how it grows 
Across the world and up and down 
In very straight and even rows. 

And far away and far away-- 
I wonder if the farmer man 
Knows all about the corn and how 
It comes together like a fan. 

Elizabeth Madox Roberts
