Red Wing



"Every true artist does feel, consciously or unconsciously, that he is touching transcendental truths; that his images are shadows of things seen through the veil.  In other words, the natural mystic does know that there is something there;something behind the clouds or within the trees; but he believes that the pursuit of Beauty is the way to find it; that imagination is a sort of incantation that can call it up."                      G.K. Chesterton
                         
For the "Beauty" theme at Take a Word this week.

  9. Absolutely scrumptious. The colours and design are amazing. Wow! (When I was young I read some of G.K. Chesterton's books which were mostly light-hearted and sometimes nonsensical. I didn't know he had a serious side but I love the quote you have included.
