To Paint the Atmosphere Through Which We Look at the Day: That is the Highest Art


"This world is but a canvas to our imaginations. It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue; . . . it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look . . . To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts."

Henry David Thoreau
