QUOTE : I follow Plato only with my mind<br />Pure beauty strikes me as a little thin<br />A little cold, however beautiful.<br /><br />I am in love with what is mixed and impure<br />Doubtful, dark and hard to disencumber<br />I want beauty I must dig for, search for.<br /><br />Pure beauty is beginning and not end<br />Begin with the sun and drop from sun to cloud<br />From cloud to tree, and from tree to earth itself<br /><br />And deeper yet to the earth dark root.<br />I am in love with what resists my loving<br />With what I have to labor to make live.
