I Am Following Nature Without Being Able

For Me, A Landscape Does Not Exist In Its Own Right, Since Its Appearance Changes At Any Moment.

It Would Be Asking Too Much To Want To Sell Only To Connoisseurs - That Way Starvation Lies.

Nature Won't Be Summoned To Order And Won't Be Kept Waiting. It Must Be Caught, Well Caught.

I've Only Myself To Blame For It, My Impotence Most Of All And My Weakness. If I Do Any Good Work Now It Will Be Only By Chance.

I'm Getting So Slow At My Work It Makes Me Despair, But... I'm Increasingly Obsessed By The Need To Render What I Experience, And I'm Praying That I'll Have A Few More Good Years Left To Me.
