The difference between the first and second best things in art absolutely seems to escape verbal definition-it is a matter of a hair, a shade, an inward quiver of some kind-yet what miles away in the point of preciousness!
~William James

"Between now and now, 
between I am and you are, 
the word bridge
Entering it 
you enter yourself: 
the world connects 
and closes like a ring. 
From one bank to another, 
there is always 
a body stretched: 
a rainbow..." ~ O.Paz

Bridges by J.M.W. Turner

"City of night
Wrap me in your folds of
shadow...."

There were periods for the novelist and poet Jack Kerouac , when he found it difficult to write.
He would turn to art when he couldn't find his words. When words fail, art is indeed the only way left.

"In the confusion we stay with each other, happy to be together, speaking without uttering a single word." Walt Whitman

'Confusion' by Laurie Justus Pace (The Good People Series)

I remember visiting this vibrant, majestic, ancient city of Bath... Home of Jane Austin, it provided inspiration for 2 of her novels. I loved the city and these paintings brought back memories and emotions. You captured its very spirit, Tom @twschaller .

"A bridge is a meeting place.
A possibility, a metaphor."

What makes a good painting? @twschaller says: "if it is enough to draw you in a little, stay a while, and even begin to imagine your own stories, than I have succeeded. For that moment, in silent conversation, you and I have connected."
