My version of the Delphic Sibyl from Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel Ceiling.

in my sylvan home
I tread on the pride
of Greece and Rome
And when I am stretched
beneath the pines
Where the evening star
so holy shines
I laugh at the lore
and pride of man,
At the sophist schools
and the learned clan
For what are they all
in their high conceit
When man in the bush
with God may meet?
R. W. Emerson.

The World is too much with us; late and soon...
Wide as a waste is wide,
Across these days like deserts, when
Pride and a little scratching pen
Have dried and split the hearts of men,
Heart of the heroes, ride."
Oh good- I thought you'd like it!! My sister is reading the sequels right now and she is enjoying them, too.
ReplyDeleteThe fourth dimension is very frustrating because I can't exactly wrap my head around it...if you know what I mean. ;-) It's so interesting to think about, though. I loved the concept of the tesseract. I understood the basic idea of it - the whole "wrinkle in time" thing, but it's still so multi-layered that you can't really fully grasp it.
Whoops...sorry, I accidentally posted the comment without finishing it!
ReplyDeleteI just started reading Sir Gibbie (the original unedited) by George MacDonald and I really like it so far. The first few chapters remind me a little of Dicken's novels (David Copperfield, Nicholas Nickleby, &c). I don't know if you've read it or not, but I'll have to let you know what I think of it when I'm finished. :-)
Oh, and keep up the great painting!! I always like seeing your personal portrayals of different characters.
