The Quilt
No great artist ever sees things as they are. If he did, he would cease to be an artist. - Oscar Wilde
When I have a terrible need of -- shall I say the word -- religion. Then I go out and paint the stars. - Vincent van Gogh
For I must tell you that we artists cannot tread the path of Beauty without Eros keeping company with us and appointing himself as our guide. - Thomas Mann
The Quilt
Sew your patient quilt
one stitch, then another stitch
all in muted hue
and I will love you
through it all, as I promised
on that day last spring,
when our world's warm song
held us in the gift of peace,
momentary, true.
