The slightest living thing answers a deeper need than all the works of man because it is transitory. It has an evanescence of life, or growth, or change it passes, as we do, from one stage to the another, from darkness to darkness, into a distance where we, too, vanish out of sight. A work of art is static and its value and its weakness lie in being so but the tuft of grass and the clouds above it belong to our own travelling brotherhood.
Freya Stark
