Sensation Par les soirs bleus d’été, j’irai dans les sentiers, Picoté par les blés, fouler l’herbe menue: Rêveur, j’en sentirai la fraîcheur à mes pieds. Je laisserai le vent baigner ma tête nue. Je ne parlerai pas, je ne penserai rien: Mais l’amour infini me montera dans l’âme, Et j’irai loin, bien loin, comme un bohémien, Par la Nature, – hereux comme avec une femme. — Arthur Rimbaud (1870)

[Vincent Van Gogh, "Wheat Field with Cypresses" (1889)]

“I confess I do not believe in time. I like to fold my magic carpet, after use, in such a way as to superimpose one part of the pattern upon another. Let visitors trip. And the highest enjoyment of timelessness—in a landscape selected at random—is when I stand among rare butterflies and their food plants. This is ecstasy, and behind the ecstasy is something else, which I cannot explain. It is like a momentary vacuum into which rushes all that I love, a sense of oneness with sun and stone, a thrill of gratitude to whom it may concern, perhaps to the contrapuntal genius of human fate or to the tender ghosts humoring a lucky mortal.” — Vladimir Nabokov, “Butterflies” (1948)

I don't want words to sever me from reality. I don't want to need them. I want nothing to reveal feeling but feeling—as in freedom, or the knowledge of peace in a realm beyond, or the sound of water poured in a bowl. — Henri Cole, “Gravity and Center” (2008)

[Georgia O’Keeffe, “Music, Pink and Blue No. 2” (1918)]
