"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Reverie.

Homer, The Trapper, 1870


In our childhood, reverie gave us freedom.  We still dream of liberty as we dreamed of it when we were children.  Those original solitudes leave indelible marks on certain souls.  Their entire life is sensitized for poetic reverie, for a reverie which knows the price of solitude.

Gaston Bachelard
