“Poetry deserves the honor it obtains as the eldest offspring of literature, and the fairest. It is the fruitfulness of many plants growing into one flower and sowing itself over the world in shapes of beauty and color, which differ with the soil that receives and the sun that ripens the seed. In Persia, it comes up the rose of Hafiz; in England, the many-blossomed tree of Shakespeare.” WorldPoetryLiteratureSunGrowingTreeColorFlowerHonorShapesDeserveEnglandRosePlantCome UpSeedsSoilOffspringSowingEldestPersiaFruitfulnessHafizPlants Growing Author:Robert Aris Willmott
“Being a die-hard Knicks fan, I remember hunting down these orange-and-blue Nikes that they only released in England. And I used to hunt for sneakers when I DJ'd in Japan.

“Three years after my first trip to Haiti, I realized there was another emotional note that had to be reckoned with: the intense, vibrant color of these worlds. Searing light and intense color seemed somehow embedded in the cultures that I had begun working in, so utterly different from the gray-brown reticence of my New England background. Since then, I have worked predominantly in color.” WorldYearsFirstsDifferentLightCultureThreeEmotionalColorEnglandNotesI RealizedBackgroundsIntenseBrownGrayThree YearsEmbeddedHaitiNew EnglandReticenceVibrant Colors Author:Alex Webb
