John Constable Quotes
My canvas soothes me into forgetfulness of the scene of turmoil and folly - and worse - of the scene around me. Every gleam of sunshine is blighted to me in the art at least. Can it therefore be wondered at that I paint continual storms? 'Tempest o'er tempest roll'd' - still the 'darkness' is majestic.
