   "The best thing about dreams is that fleeting moment when you are between asleep and awake, when you don't know the difference between reality and fantasy, when just for that moment you feel with your entire soul that the dream is reality, and it really happened."              Oscar Wilde

      I was recently getting together some work to be entered in a show that has the theme of 'Illustrated Passages', the idea being that the words accompanying the artwork would give the viewer additional insights into the artist's work. I found that my search for quotations to pair up with my entires had yielded an overabundance of expressive literary gems, and that it might be interesting to see how they would pair up with additional pieces of my work. I have presented here some of the fruits of my labors for your perusal. Enjoy.

'Myopia'

"...in going down into the secrets of his own mind he has descended into the secrets of all minds." 

      Ralph Waldo Emerson

'12Balls'

"When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

        Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

'Aloft'

"I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless, and in this moment I am happy."

               Incubus

'Swift River'

"It would have been easier if it had happened quickly like a flood. As it was, It was like dying a little bit at a time."

         Dorothy Johnson

'Menage a Trois'

"We've all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on."

            J.K.Rowling

'Breach'

"We are all afraid, we are all so alone, we all so need from the outside the assurance of our own worthiness to exist."

         Ford Madox Ford

'Chutes 'n Balls'

"Alice came to a fork in the road. 'Which way do I take?' she asked. 'Where do you want to go?' responded the Cheshire Cat. 'I don't know,' Alice answered. 'Then'' said the Cat, 'it doesn't matter."

                 Lewis Carroll

'Juggler'

"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion...so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again."

            William Faulkner
