Transcending Form

December 5, 2008 Bill Gatesman Uncategorized

Form is not in the material:
it is in the designer before
it ever enters the stone:
and the artificer holds it
not by his equipment of eyes and hands,
but by his participation in his art.

Plotinus
in Whitall N. Perry

Varanasi: Indica, 1998, (1971), p. 672
