If art is to have a special train, the critic must keep some seats reserved on it.
Oscar Wilde
Trains are wonderful…. To travel by train is to see nature and human beings, towns and churches, and rivers, in fact, to see life.

Gate after gate seemed to close with gentle finality behind me. Innumerable beadles were fitting innumerable keys into well-oiled locks; the treasure-house was being made secure for another night.

Perdi-me nos teus olhos
Azuis como o oceano
Intensamente límpidos
O divino toca o profano
Fui apanhada de surpresa
Pela tempestade
Que chegou com pressa
De contar toda a verdade
Engolida pelo mar
Varrida pelo vento
Sufoquei
Fiquei sem ar
Caí na armadilha do tempo.

Do cimo do farol sinto o mundo como mais ninguém
Vejo o nascer do sol e quando ele se deita também
Observo o arco-íris e as nuvens que dançam no céu
Sinto a maresia e agarro este vento só meu
Fecho os olhos e oiço as ondas do mar
A maré sobe e sinto-me a naufragar
Os pássaros trazem-me notícias do outro lado do mundo
Peço-lhes que me concedam mais um segundo
Um instante basta para que a areia volte a ficar seca
Quanto ao resto… pouco ou nada interessa!

De la grâce et de l’horreur, un poème plein de renaissantes magies, de tableaux sublimes, de délicieuses rusticités! La Bretagne est là dans sa fleur.
Honoré de Balzac
J’aime la Bretagne, j’y trouve le sauvage, le primitif. Quand mes sabots résonnent sur ce sol de granit, j’entends le son sourd, mat et puissant que je cherche en peinture.
