Nativity with Saints, Ortolano, 1520's. Web Gallery of Art.
"O cruel cloudless space,
And pale bare ground where the poor infant lies!
Why do we feel restored
As in a sacramental place?
Here Mystery is artifice,
And here a vision of such peace is stored,
Healing flows from it through our eyes."
- May Sarton, Nativity
My thoughts are turned toward peace and beauty, toward the simple good things of life.
Stillness appeals to me, clarity, the road less traveled.
