I will tell you what I will do and what I will not do. I will not serve that in which I no longer believe, whether it call itself my home, my fatherland, or my church: and I will try to express myself in some mode of life or art as freely as I can and as wholly as I can, using for my defence the only arms I allow myself to use - silence, exile, and cunning.

I like seeing through your eyes!
Thanks for the Blake quote. I remember exactly where I was the moment I first became aware of this. Simply and beautifully expressed.
Great quote, and if I were strolling that beach right now, I'd be freezing but very happy, too.
thank you ladies!
I love William Blake Suzanne.

Beautiful quote and sun-warmed rocks.
Thank you Amanda!
