He could leap the corral,
If he rose
To his full height;
He could splinter the fencing light,
With three blows
Of his porcelain hoofs in flight -
If he chose.
He could shatter his prison wall,
Could escape them all -
If he rose,
If he chose. (Anne Morrow Lindbergh)

He could leap the corral, If he rose To his full height; He could splinter the fencing light, With three blows Of his porcelain hoofs in flight - If he chose. He could shatter his prison wall, Could escape them all - If he rose, If he chose.

One thing is sure – we have to transform the three-dimensional world of objects into the two-dimensional world of the canvas... To transform three into two dimensions is for me an experience full of magic in which I glimpse for a moment that fourth dimension which my whole being is seeking.
