“People did not ‘invent’ two-dimensional images; nor did they discover them in natural marks. On the contrary, their world was already invested with two-dimensional images...The first two-dimensional images were thus not two dimensional representations of three-dimensional things in the material world, as researchers have always assumed...For the makers, the paintings and engravings were visions, not representations of visions – as indeed was the case for the southern African San and the North American shamans...They were not inventing images. They were merely touching what was already there.”
-David Lewis-Williams
From far, from eve and morning/
And yon twelve-winded sky,/
The stuff of life to knit me/
Blew hither: here am I./
Now—for a breath I tarry/
Nor yet disperse apart—/
Take my hand quick and tell me,/
What have you in your heart./
Speak now, and I will answer;/
How shall I help you, say;/
Ere to the wind's twelve quarters/
I take my endless way.
~A.E. Housman
