‘The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And, as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name’
William Shakespeare, from Theseus’s speech in ‘A Midsummer Nights Dream’, 1600

/ ‘Painting is the art which reminds us that time and the visible come into being together, as a pair.
The place of their coming into being is the human mind, which can coordinate events into a time sequence and appearances into a world seen.
With this coming into being of time and the visible, a dialogue between presence and absence begins.
We all live this dialogue.’
From Success and Failure of Picasso by John Berger , 1965
