I see black light
The last words of Victor Hugo, 1802 - 1885
Before it can ever be a repose for the senses, landscape is the work of the mind.
Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock.
Simon Schama, Landscape and Memory, 1995
I used to measure the skies, now I measure the shadows of Earth.
Although my mind was sky-bound, the shadow of my body lies here.”
Johannes Kepler (epitaph he composed for himself a few months before he died), 1630
