"When you paint Spring, do not paint willows, plums, peaches, or apricots - just paint Spring."

Previous Quote

The flavors of the peach and the apricot are not lost from generation to generation, neither are they transmitted by book learning. The mystic tradition, any mystic tradition, is of a similar nature, that is, it is dependent on direct perception, a 'knowledge' as permanent as the faculty for receiving it.

— Ezra Pound
