"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

Remembering.

 Wyeth, N.C., Ridge Church, 1936


Divinity must live within herself: 
Passions of rain, or moods in the falling snow; 
Grievings in loneliness, or unsubdued 
Elations when the forest blooms; gusty 
Emotions on wet roads on autumn nights; 
All pleasures and all pains, remembering 
The boughs of summer and the winter branch. 
These are the measures destined for her soul. 

Wallace Stevens
