CHRISTINA GEORGINA ROSSETTI ~ DAUGHTER OF EVE

in Art & the Unconscious Mind by

A Daughter of Eve

A fool I was to sleep at noon,
And wake when night is chilly
Beneath the comfortless cold moon;
A fool to pluck my rose too soon,
A fool to snap my lily.

My garden-plot I have not kept;
Faded and all-forsaken,
I weep as I have never wept:
Oh it was summer when I slept,
It’s winter now I waken.

Talk what you please of future spring
And sun-warm’d sweet to-morrow:
Stripp’d bare of hope and everything,
No more to laugh, no more to sing,
I sit alone with sorrow.

Christina Georgina Rossetti

ODILON REDON ~ ON BEING AN ARTIST

in Odilon Redon ~ Painter of Magical Dreams and Surreal Reality... by

The Artist submits from day to day to the fatal rhythm of the impulses of the universal world which encloses him, continual centre of sensations, always pliant, hypnotized by the marvels of nature which he loves, he scrutinizes. His eyes, like his soul, are in perpetual communion with the most fortuitous of phenomena.

Odilon Redon

RENE MAGRITTE ~ ON THE ART LITERATURE

in Art & the Unconscious Mind by

…all critical literature prowling around the world of art should be aware of its essential absurdity, which makes one think of a swarm of clumsy flies buzzing around a decomposing corpse.
