No masterpieces in huge frames to worship, ... and yet there are the days when every street corner rounds itself into a sunlit surprise, a painting or a phrase, canoes drawn up by the market, the harbour's blue, the barracks. So much to do still, all of it praise.

Derek Walcott

And then I went round the corner and there's a Van Gogh portrait, and you just think, well, this is another level. A higher level, actually. I love the Sargent, but it's not the level of Van Gogh.

Giacomo Balla

Robert Frost
