On seeing his shadow fall on such ancient rocks, he had to question himself in a different context and ask the same old question as before, "Who am I?", and the answer now came more emphatically than ever before, "No-one."
More quotes by R. S. Thomas
Art is recuperation
from time. I lie back
convalescing upon the prospect
of a harvest already at hand.
You have to imagine
a waiting that is not impatient
because it is timeless.
The deep spaces between stars,
Fathomless as the cold shadow
His mind cast.
