“"Motherboard," for me, has four different levels: the bottom part is the water, vegetation, and growth. The second part is the world with figures and animals; there's chaos and civilization.

And this is Musick.” LongMadeEarthFallWaterMusicAirFiguresFameMoonRoundsActiveGravesDecentStringsStrokesWovenTenorsSaturn Author:Abraham Cowley

“Château and hut, stone face and dangling figure, the red stain on the stone floor, and the pure water in the village well-thousands of acres of land-a whole province of France-all France itself-lay under the night sky, concentrated into a faint hairbreadth line. So does a whole world, with all its greatnesses and littlenesses, lie in a twinkling star.” WorldWellsDoeWholeFacesLyingNightStarsWaterNatureLinesSkyLandFiguresGreatnessPureRedStonesLaysWhole WorldFranceVillageProvincesStainsNight SkyAcresHutsTwinklingTale Of Two CitiesPure WaterTwinkling Stars Book:A Tale of Two Cities (Illustrated) Source: A Tale of Two Cities (Illustrated)
