  • Catalogue Essay

    "The earth never tires,
    The earth is rude, silent, incomprehensible at first, Nature
    is rude and incomprehensible at first,
    Be not discouraged, keep on, there are divine things well
    envelop'd,
    I swear to you there are divine things more beautiful than
    words can tell."

    –Walt Whitman, "song of the Open Road," Leaves of Grass
