A light wind swept over the corn, and all nature laughed in the sunshine.

Just living is not enough... one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.

I decided that if I could paint that flower in a huge scale, you could not ignore its beauty.

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

The snow itself is lonely or, if you prefer, self-sufficient. There is no other time when the whole world seems composed of one thing and one thing only.
