An Old Oak, 1920, Kondratenko Gavriil Pavlovich (1854 - 1924) - Oil on Board -



*

“Look: the trees exist; the houses
we dwell in stand there stalwartly.
Only we
pass by it all, like a rush of air.
And everything conspires to keep quiet
about us,
half out of shame perhaps, half out of
some secret hope.” 
 
― Rainer Maria Rilke - Duino Elegies
