    “For thou, O Spring! canst renovate
    All that high God did first create.
    Be still his arm and architect,
    Rebuild the ruin, mend defect.”

    “When I say artist I don’t mean in the narrow sense of the word—but the man who is building things—creating molding the earth—whether it be the plains of the west—or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction—some with a brush—some with a shovel—some choose a pen.”
    —Jackson Pollock (1912–1956)
