RT @nick_routledge: @artistklee "Horses and elephants pull at the word of command. But the wise man understands even what is unsaid; the enlightened, the full content of what has been communicated only by a hint. There are meanings immanent and causative in verbal and visual symbols." - A.K. Coomaraswamy
