"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Travel.

Homer, Ile Malin, 1897


Heading off on a river at peace in the cool of an evening
Heading off on a river of light, be part of a river at night
Nice to be on a river sometimes, like a June bug traveling
Heading off on a ribbon of song, been away from the river too long
Good to be on a river somewhere, like a milkweed traveling
Heading off on a ribbon of dreams, be a part of a river it seems
Can you tell me how long must I travel on?


- Gordon Lightfoot, from "River of Light"
