The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
T. S. Eliot

People call me the painter of dancers, but I really wish to
capture movement itself.
Edgar Degas

CXXIII



No, Time, thou shalt not boast that I do change:

Thy pyramids built up with newer might

To me are nothing novel, nothing strange;

They are but dressings of a former sight.

Our dates are brief, and therefore we admire

What thou dost foist upon us that is old;

And rather make them born to our desire

Than think that we before have heard them told.

Thy registers and thee I both defy,

Not wondering at the present nor the past,

For thy records and what we see doth lie,

Made more or less by thy continual haste.

  This I do vow and this shall ever be;

  I will be true despite thy scythe and thee.

 	--William Shakespeare

I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn\'t
say any other way -- things I had no words for.
Georgia O\'Keeffe
