"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

Blind.

Botticelli, La Privavera (detail), 1483


Things base and vile, holding no quantity,
Love can transpose to form and dignity.
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind.

William Shakespeare, from Act One, Scene One of A Midsummer Night's Dream
