"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

Headed.

Wyeth, Race Run, 1969


13. 

The hound I’ve known for three years
trots down the mountain road 
with a nod at me, pretending he knows
what he’s doing miles from home 
on a sunlit morning. He’s headed 
for a kind of place he hasn’t quite found yet
and might not recognize when he gets there. 

Jim Harrison
