"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

Rose.

Wyeth, Cold Spring, 1977


And the spring arose on the garden fair,         
Like the spirit of love felt everywhere;
And each flower and herb on earth’s dark breast
Rose from the dreams of its wintry rest.

Percy Bysshe Shelley, from "The Sensitive Plant: Part First"
