The artist sees what others only catch a glimpse of.

I love this site. It was lovingly hand-shaped it. Your soul transformed this into this art. It was perfect. I have tried to create another equal to it... but to no avail, so I will just have to paint the Sistine Chapel.

The senses are of the earth, the reason stands apart from them in contemplation.

Nothing will be left, Nothing in the air, nothing under the earth, nothing in the waters. All will be exterminated.

Water is the driving force of all nature.

If you throw a stone in a pond... the waves which strike against the shores are thrown back towards the spot where the stone struck; and on meeting other waves they never intercept each other's course... In a small pond one and the same stroke gives birth to many motions of advance and recoil.

Of the four elements water is the second in weight and the second in respect of mobility. It is never at rest until it unites with the sea.
