Velazquez

No quote on this page just an #homage to Velazquez and a collage of his art. This is the last page in my altered book. The quality of the paper was poor and the pages were falling apart - it is held together with brown gummed tape. I have had much pleasure thinking of the contents and searching for quotes. I put it aside with satisfaction and think about my next project.

The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear the sapless foliage of the ocean.

Bats

Or the dry whisper of unseen wings,
Bats not angels................

Fossils

The mind grows giddy by looking far into the abyss of time.

Pond

When you were a tadpole
And I was a fish,
In the Palazoic time,
And side by side
In the ebbing tide
We sprawled through
The ooze and slime
