Moments of a motif:  
       A tree, landscape, sea, a face…

“I marvel at the things I see with eyes open
  and at the recollection of things with eyes closed.

  I marvel at a world that I am seeing now,
  in this way never seen before,
  and which I will never see like this again.

  This world can not in images be caught,
  but one can catch the rules
  by which it seems these marvels can be recollected.” 

(1972)
