❝ Meantime his golden face around He bares to all the garden ground, And sheds a warm and glittering look Among the ivy’s inmost nook. Above the hills, along the blue, Round the bright air with footing true, To please the child, to paint the rose, The gardener of the World, he goes. ❞ ―       Robert Louis Stevenson, Summer Sun

i am the eye with which the universe beholds itself, and knows itself divine; all harmony of instrument or verse, all prophecy, all medicine is mine, all light of art or nature; - to my song victory and praise in its own right belong.

❝ The eyes lift after it and find the moon. The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary. Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls. How I would like to believe in tenderness – The face of the effigy, gentled by candles, Bending, on me in particular, its mild eyes. ❞ ―       Sylvia Plath, The Moon and the Yew Tree
