“Whatever the instrument the artist sought to recreate the abstract, invisible relationships of the cosmos in the intimate, immediate form of his art, where the forms might be experienced and perhaps be resolved in miniature.”

Only the idea of death makes a man sufficiently detached so he cannot deny himself anything. A man of that sort, however, does not crave, for he has acquired a silent lust for life and for all things of life.
