The Painter And The Dead Painter

"Frequently pretentious, endlessly priapic, sometimes fascinating, but often deeply predictable and annoying. An artist in other words. His main talent was for survival through infamy."

Rain : Various Artists & Poets

"But now it is the rain
Possesses us entirely, the twilight and the rain."

Alun Lewis

Childe Hassam

"The thirsty earth soaks up the rain,
And drinks and gapes for drink again"

Abraham Cowley

Gustave Caillebotte

"The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk.
The rain makes running pools in the gutter.
The rain plays a little sleep-song on our roof at night"

Langston Hughes

Jeremy Mann

"There's always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down."

Don Delillo

J M W Turner

"The flowers are ravined
by bees, the fruit blossoms
are thrown to the ground, the wind
the rain forces everything."

Charles Olsen

Albert Goodwin

John Atkinson Grimshaw

"I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light."

Robert Frost

Vincent Van Gogh

"Flame burns, rain sinks into the cracks
And they all go to rack ruin beneath the thud of the years,
Stands genius a deathless adornment,
a name not to be worn out with the years."

Ezra Pound
