“This world is painted on a wild dark metal”
“If I paint a wild horse, you might not see the horse... but surely you will see the wildness!”
“Someday all the wilds will be razed, and we will be left with a concrete landscape, a land of pretty houses and trim gardens and planned parks and forests, and a world that works as smoothly as a clock, neatly wound: a world of metal and gears, and people going tick-tick-tick to their deaths.”
“Even within the dark paint on a canvas, and the shadows in a photograph, there is light.”
“I never dreamed the sea so deep,The earth so dark; so long my sleep,I have become another child.I wake to see the world go wild.”
“Wildness is the preservation of the World.”
