Susan Sontag, from an interview conducted c. October 1979

[the-hearth-and-the-wild]

In the West, when we think of iconographic or religious paintings, we are accustomed to pictures of divine human figures and angels and saints. When the mind of the Far East expresses its religious feeling, however, it finds appropriate imagery in the objects of nature, and in this very important respect their feeling for nature is different from ours. The contrast in these two forms of expression arises as a result of the sensation that the human being is not someone who stands apart from nature and looks at it from the outside, but instead is an integral part of it.

Alan Watts, "What is Tao?"

It was a delightful June morning. The sun played on the waters of the river and brushed the dewy grass with its rays. The river and the meadow were strewn with rich diamonds of light.

Anton Chekhov, from "After the fair" wr. c. 1880
