Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen. - Leonardo da Vinci

Painting is mute poetry, and poetry is blind painting

I ask at what part of its curved motion the moving cause will leave the thing moved and moveable.

O time, swift robber of all created things, how many kings, how many nations hast thou undone, and how many changes of states and of various events have happened since the wondrous forms of this fish perished here in this cavernous and winding recess. Now destroyed by time thou liest patiently in this confined space with bones stripped and bare; serving as a support and prop for the superimposed mountain.

Nature is full of infinite causes that have never occurred in experience.
