I remember sitting in the deepening gloam, my copy of <I>The Mill on the Floss</I> lit only by a piercing shaft of light from the setting sun -- I reached the end of my favorite passage, the one on á Kempis, when I paused, deep in thought. I heard something in the woods: a sweet glissando, played on the classical guitar! Could it be? Was it?<BR/><BR/>My dreams that night were cascades of intense, abstract color. It was as if I had touched the hem of Courbet's garment.Jan Peetershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692242013252009637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016510789306208693.post-21429333457178750662009-01-22T06:05:00.000+01:002009-01-22T06:05:00.000+01:00A fan of gold from the heavens, piney silence, fre...A fan of gold from the heavens, piney silence, fresh joints!

Perhaps Courbet can teach us all to pause for a moment in the woods, sit on a rock, breathe deeply, and reflect on how lucky we are to be able to look upon this world.Jan Peetershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10692242013252009637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5016510789306208693.post-73458369962582715992009-01-02T18:04:00.000+01:002009-01-02T18:04:00.000+01:00well thanks for sharing these stuff.
