Perse, Mead, Rimbaud, Twombly, Brigham, Kelly, Dugan
St.-John Perse (trans. Robert Fitzgerald):
Jane Mead:
Arthur Rimbaud, May 15, 1871 (trans. Louise Varèse):
Cy Twombly:
It’s instinctive in a certain kind of painting, not as if you were painting an object or special things, but i’'s like coming through the nervous system. It’s like a nervous system. It’s not described, it’s happening. The feeling is going on with the task. The line is the feeling, from a soft thing, a dreamy thing, to something hard, something arid, something lonely, something ending, something beginning. It’s like I’m experiencing something frightening, I’m experiencing the thing and I have to be at that state because I’m also going.

Ellsworth Kelly:
It’s three panels, black, white, and black. When you stand in the middle and look straight at the white, something happens to the black in your peripheral vision, something happens to the edge. If you look closely, it’s not a painted edge, it’s a real edge.
Alan Dugan:
