“What a wonderful work Wagner has done for humanity in translating the toil of life into the readable script of music! For those who seek the tale of other worlds his magic is silent; but earth-travail under his wand becomes instinct with rhythmic song to an accompaniment of the elements, and the blare and crash of the bottomless pit itself.” WorldDoneEarthSongHumanityWonderfulMagicElementsSilentInstinctScriptsTalesTranslateCrashToilPitsOther WorldsWandsWagner Author:Richard Wagner
“Cursed in earth and subdued by death, man found himself beset by time, and his instincts put to the test. Only then, he realized that with love he could survive, and that for a certain purpose he would toil. For those whom my love can not immune from death, are dedicated these paintings, in the hope they may express in drawing the reality of a resonant mind.” MenMindMayRealityEarthPurposeCertainFoundPaintingSurvivalTestsInstinctDrawingDedicatedCan NotToilImmuneCursed Author:Ala Bashir
“What I mean by the Muse is that unimpeded clearness of the intuitive powers, which a perfectly truthful adherence to every admonition of the higher instincts would bring to a finely organized human being. It may appear as prophesy or as poesy...should these faculties have free play, I believe they will open up new, deeper and purer sources of joyous inspiration than have as yet refreshed the earth.” ShouldBelieveHumansMayMeanPlayInspirationEarthI BelieveHuman BeingsCreativitySourceHigherInstinctDeeperOrganizedFacultyTruthfulMuseIntuitiveJoyousAdherenceAdmonitionClearnessFree Play Author:Margaret Fuller
