Guy Vanderhaeghe Quotes

It Is In The Face Of All This Visual Chaos, So Opposed To Order And Simplicity, That I Suddenly, Perhaps A Little Guiltily, Recall My Vow To Simplify My Life. When I Made That Promise I Had In Mind The Image Of The Ancient Greek Subsisting On A Fragment Of Pungent Cheese, Coarse Bread, A Handful Of Sun-warmed Olives, A Little Watered Wine; A Man Who Discussed The Good, The True, The Beautiful With Grave Delight, And Piped Clear Music In A Sylvan Glade. But I Feel The Absence Of Hills Clothed In Myrtle And Thyme; Of The Great Mother, Homer's Wine-dark Sea. Good Resolutions, It Seems, Require Good Scenery.
